I checked out the above two locations this morning. From other posts, it
sounds like shorebird habitat is poor in most of the state. Both spots are
decent for shorebirds, especially the Van Patten dikes. However the habitat is
not as good as it was last fall, but is still decent.
At the Anderson Sod Farm (Winnegamie Rd, Winnebago co), there were just 120
Killdeer, but it still has inviting habitat for Buff-br. Sandpiper (one was
present several days ago).
The Van Patten dikes (Outagamie co, between Black Creek and Shiocton), where
they have cut the grass on the dikes--hurray, had 8 shorebird species. Nothing
unusual, that included 3 Semip. Plovers, 160 Killdeer, Lesser Yellowlegs,
Semip., Least, Spotted and Pectoral Sandpipers, and Wilson's Snipe. In
addition 4 heron species were present, again nothing unusual. Hopefully some
interesting species will appear as the month progresses.
