Hello! I just returned home from the Mansfield Lahm Airport where I observed 7 Upland Sandpipers at the same time in the grassy area between the control tower and an airport ("Flyboys") restaurant, and on the adjacent runways. To get to this airport, follow Rte. 13 north out of Mansfield and turn left on Harrington Memorial Road (where the state prison is on the right side of Rte. 13). Follow Harrington Road until you can go no further and the road loops around. Park in a lot at about 11 o'clock of the loop, and look through the chain-linked fence into the grassy area and along the runways near that area. Five of the Uplands were in the grassy area and the remaining two were standing in the adjacent runways. I heard vocalizations a couple of times in the 15 minutes that I was there.
