There is a large, healthy cladiphora mat along the rocks north of
Bradford Beach in Milwaukee, and I checked it Wednesday afternoon for
shorebirds. I was not disappointed. First up were a Semipalmated
Plover and two juvenile Semipalmated Sandpipers, soon joined by a
Spotted Sandpiper in basic plumage (two more Spotties were seen
shortly thereafter). Then a pair of Sanderlings flew in and foraged
quite close to where I was, allowing great photos of them showing off
their transitional plumage, still showing a good deal of red on their
heads and necks.
