Hi all, I had a surprising 9 shorebird species from Shrum Mound in Columbus this evening (see ebird checklist below for a map), including 3 SANDERLING, a Ruddy Turnstone, and a large flock of Least & Semipalm sandpipers. The mudflats in the quarry are expansive, and run from the rookery island all the way up to the north end of the quarry. Gaps in the trees provide barely adequate scope views from the top of the mound.
