[obol] Shorebirds are returning

[Craig Miller]

Hi all,

I made a quick trip out to Hatfield Lake for a shorebird count today and 
found 9 species of shorebirds. They include: Killdeer (6), Greater 
Yellowlegs (3), Lesser Yellowlegs (2), Spotted Sandpiper (7 including 
young), Western Sandpiper (1), Least Sandpiper (6), Short-billed 
Dowitcher (1), Long-billed Dowitcher (1), and Wilson's Phalarope (12).

They were all located on the "near" pond. The two dowitchers were 
hanging out together; they looked quite different from each other, and 
they both gave definitive calls.
