Brad Sparks and I did some surveying at the new wetlands along Darby Creek Dr., finding that migration is far from over. Our finds there: 99 semipalmated sandpipers 1 least sandpiper only 2 white-rumped sandpipers 1 ruddy turnstone 6 spotted sandpipers 30+ killdeers 4 semipalmated plovers 1 lesser yellowlegs *2 black-necked stilts, M&F Later, nearby at Bolton Field Brad spotted one of the upland sandpipers. * these were in the southmost roadside pond in the wetlands, within fifty yards of the road, but left before we moved on, and flew deeper into the wetlands, I feel pretty sure. There is no safe legal pulloff along this busy highway, either. A decent view of this part of the wetlands can be had by taking the trail from the park HQ just a bit farther south that goes north to the bison herd; it parallels the road a bit farther west; there are no trees, etc. in the way, and is quite safe, even from the bisons.
