Both Sat. and Sun. early morning I saw about 200 shorebirds at Hustisford
(below the dam in Lions Prk on griffith st.)  On Sun morn I got to meet
Dave Schrab and he helped me find the "spinning" W Phalarope.  Thanks Dave,
lifer for me.  Many of the same variety as noted in previous posts
including 2 short billed dowitchers.
  What an awesome spot.  With Dave's help we were able to walk right down
to the shore and walk along the rocks to the east end of the stream and sit
and watch less than 50 feet away.  We almost didn't need any scopes.  The
birds didn't seem to even care that we were there.
