The reservoir at Buck Creek State Park has finally been lowered enough to expose some mudflats at the north end. A friend and I looked it over this morning and found about 250 Killdeer, 25 Dunlin, 3 Wilson's Snipe, 2 Least Sandpiper, 1 Pectoral Sandpiper, and 1 Baird's Sandpiper along with Bonaparte's and Ring-billed Gulls. To get to the area go north on Grant Road and turn on a gravel drive after going down a hill and crossing a small bridge. Then walk north along the trail until you pass the last three Bald Cypress trees. Soon after that is a very narrow trail to the edge of the lake. It is somewhat difficult to get through the brush. You will need a scope to look over the birds.
