Bellevue "ponds" is a great shorebird hotspot to check if you can. We had hundreds and hundreds of shorebirds there today it was a little mind blowing. We were south west of town on "riddle road" (aka 292 between 113/62 and and 191) beside the railroad Tracks. Also Further south on Fireside road by fireside cemetery the road is flooded and had a lot of shorebirds there too. It should be getting better in the coming week if the water dries/drains a bit more. There wasn't anything super rare there today, but huge numbers and its worth checking often because shorebirds move so often. The water is on all four corners of the railroad tracks. The birds on the NW corner were really close and packed in on the flooded Corn! I've never seen shorebirds climbing on corn stalks before, but in and amongst the corn we had the following conservative estimates given (also on the other side of the road in the mowed fields: Semipalm Plover - 2 Killdeer - 40 Lesser Yellowlegs - 300 Greater Yellowlegs - 3 (not many) Solitary Sandpiper - 5 Pectoral Sandpiper - 300 Short-billed Dowitcher - 2 Wilsons Snipe - 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper - 100 Least Sandpiper - 100 Spotted Sandpiper- 2 Hundreds of Swallows mostly Barn, Tree, Bank.
