I stopped at a few locations at Killdeer Plains on Saturday afternoon. One area in particular held a nice concentration of shorebirds. There are a couple of ponds on the north side of TH71 near the intersection of TH 108. There is a white barn further north to use as a marker. The pond on the left was teeming with shorebirds, including, nearly 40 Wilson's Snipe, a White-rumped SP, Wilson's Phalarope, and many more common shorebirds. The pond on the right held quite a few C. Gallinules, and a Sora. Conditions looked pretty good there for continued shorebird success. See you on the trails, Chris Pierce N.
