The mudflats at Dick Road in the Deer Creek Wildlife Area were very good for shorebirds this afternoon.
2 Western Sandpipers
1 White-rumped Sandpiper
4 Baird's Sandpipers
7 Stilt Sandpipers
Lesser Yellowlegs
Greater Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpipers
Least Sandpipers
Pectoral Sandpipers
Semipalmated Sandpipers
To get to this area from the state park, take Egypt Pike south-west from SR 207, turn left at the first
road (Dick Road).
I parked in the gravel area on Dick Rd and walked the path next to the boardwalk being built. In the morning viewing might be better from the viewing platform (parking just further east a bit).
