I was at Wilderness Road peat pits from 7:15 - 8:15 tonight. There is a
little more water there with the recent rains, which really helps. I
spotted nine species of shorebirds, plus one sora rail working along the
edge. Shorebird species and approximate counts were:

Am. golden plover  5
Killdeer  10
Greater yellowlegs  8
Lesser yellowlegs  4
Spotted sandpiper  4
Sanderling  1
Western sandpiper 1
Least sandpiper  3
Pectoral sandpiper  10

I saw the sanderling and western sandpiper very well and am quite sure of
the ID.  Randy Rowe, Wooster
