There are currently 66 White-rumped Sandpipers at Big Island. That number

The shorebird habitat is in the middle pond along LaRue-Prospect Rd. in
Marion Co. Walk the dike north along the west side and look east. Better in
the afternoon. There is a pull-off on the south side. Park, cross the road
and head north along the dike.

Oops! The large group of White-rumpeds just lifted off. So far they have
not returned. They are back!!!
