Larry Jeanblanc, Julie Karlson, and I checked the beach at Buck Creek State Park near Springfield this morning. We quickly spotted a Wilson's Phalarope and then an American Avocet. There were also Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers, Pectoral Sandpipers, Spotted Sandpipers, and many Killdeer present. Four Lesser Yellowlegs flew by. With the flock of Ring-billed Gulls was a single Herring Gull and one Caspian Tern.
