The birds are close to the Road, with the pond being to the west of
Schumacher. Most of them I could ID with binocs, but would probably need a
scope for some on the far edge of the pond.
The road is somewhat busy at times, but the worst part is that there isn't
much of a shoulder to pull onto. I was there at 5pm yesterday, and I was
not a fan of the traffic at that time, even though it was only a car or two
per minute.

Thanks Aaron. Is that a busy road? How close are the birds?

Lots of shorebirds the past couple days at the Schumacher Rd ponds north
of Waunakee. Good numbers of Lesser Yellowlegs and Pectorals yesterday,
with some Stilt Sandpipers, Dowitchers, Solitary, Spotted, peeps, etc. I
didn't have much time so I didn't look thru them very well.

If anyone runs across any shorebirds, especially in dane or rock
counties, please post here. I canât find much of anything either but maybe
they are just later than usual this year. (wishful thinking).
Iâm especially looking for a lifer; the buff-breasted sandpiper.

Well, the July adults skipped us. But I always felt that the 1st year
birds
peaked the last week of August. Of course, we don't have any sod farms
near
by anymore. The decent looking flooded field around here haven't been
producing any numbers of any shorebirds.

I checked the Anderson sod farm this morning. Only 30 Killdeer plusother
standard birds. I checked the Green Meadow sod farm (Stevens Pt) earlyflight.
this afternoon. 60 Killdeer but that was it. Still no Buff-breasted
Sandpiper anywhere---frustrating as this should be about their peak
Any one finds them please post.
