A surprisingly good afternoon at LaDue Reservoir.  First Wes Hatch 
found one Baird’s Sandpiper right near the boat launch area, and then we 
noticed two ruddy turnstones along the shore edge. Both in nonbreeding 
plumage so we have a total of at least three at LaDue in the last week.

Then, not visible from the parking lot, walking in along the shore line
Wes saw a breeding plumage black belllied plover. Just beautiful! 

Otherwise, of note semipalmated plovers, least and semi palm sandpipers, solitary and
spotted sandpipers.  Oh, and a couple of common terns.
