A couple friends and I visited Killdeer Plains today to look for the
shorebirds that Steve Jones reported. We found them at the west end of Pond
27. Here is a list of what we found. Some of the numbers were estimates as
many of the shorebirds were too far away to identify even with a scope.

1  Black-bellied Plover
25 Semipalmated Plover
75 Killdeer
2  Spotted Sandpiper
5  Solitary Sandpiper
1  Greater Yellowlegs
70 Lesser Yellowlegs
1  Stilt Sandpiper
30 Least Sandpiper
25 Pectoral Sandpiper
2  Wilson's Snipe

We also had a couple other interesting finds. On Road 115 just north of
C-75, four Bobolinks flew over us. Then on C-71 between T-108 and T-123 we
heard a Henslow's Sparrow although we couldn't spot it. On Pond 3 there were
two families of Pied-billed Grebes.
