This morning there was excellent shorebird habitat at the end of Mound Road.The mudflats are surrounded by very low level water and I saw the following:

7  Solitary Sandpipers
2  Spotted Sandpipers
2  Pectoral Sandpipers
1  Least Sandpiper
1  Semipalmated Plover  (always a treat)
18 Killdeer

While some of these birds are fairly close others require a scope to ID. Mound Road is off St.Rt 380 at the fire station. When you turn on Mound there is a No Outlet sign and further along one reads Road Closed. Ignore the latter and continue for a short distance until you see a parking  lot on the right. Park there and walk straight ahead a very short distance and you will see the mudflats.
