Hello all,

The Middle Harbor mudflats at East Harbor SP are a must-visit this fall.
The mudflats are at the north end of the impoundment, and accessed via Buck
Rd. and the West Harbor hiking trail.  Keith Norris and I made a relatively
brief stop there this afternoon and tallied 14 species of shorebirds.

Semipalmated Plover  60
Killdeer  10-12
Spotted Sandpiper  4
Greater Yellowlegs  2
Lesser Yellowlegs  15
Sanderling  2
Semipalmated Sandpiper  ~200  (another or the same leg-flagged ad. noted,
though mud obscured color + code)
Least Sandpiper  ~75
White-rumped Sandpiper  1  presumed 1st summer
Baird's Sandpiper  2  presumed molting alt. ad.
Pectoral Sandpiper  17+
Stilt Sandpiper  1  fresh juv.
Short-billed Dowitcher (Prairie)  6  fresh juv.
Wilson's Phalarope  1 juv., loosely assoc. w/ LEYE
