Hello!

I just returned home from the Mansfield Lahm Airport where I observed 7
Upland Sandpipers at the same time in the grassy area between the control
tower  and an airport ("Flyboys") restaurant, and on the adjacent runways.  To
get  to this airport, follow Rte. 13 north out of Mansfield and turn left on
Harrington Memorial Road (where the state prison is on the right side of
Rte.  13).  Follow Harrington Road until you can go no further and the road
loops around.  Park in a lot at about 11 o'clock of the loop, and look
through the chain-linked fence into the grassy area and along the runways near
that area.  Five of the Uplands were in the grassy area and the remaining
two were standing in the adjacent runways.  I heard vocalizations a couple  of
times in the 15 minutes that I was there.
