On a quick walk at the Hoover Boardwalk (Franklin Co., north end of Hoover near Galena) Grertchen Fluke and I saw the following birds from 8-9:30: Killdeer Least Sandpiper (many) Lesser Yellowlegs Stilt sandpiper (1) BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER (2) Semi-palmated plovers Great Blue Herons Belted Kingfisher Starlings Robins There wasn't a great variety of shorebirds, but, the buff-breasteds and the stilt were real nice. And, what a beautiful morning. And, morning is the best time of day for the boardwalk - as the sun is behind you.
