There was a nice variety of shorebirds in the flooded fields south of 180th Street east of the marsh (just west of Goodwin Ave.) Black-bellied Plover 6 Killdeer 2 Spotted Sandpiper 2 Ruddy Turnstone 3 Semipalmated Sandpiper 50 Least Sandpiper 25 Pectoral Sandpiper 10 Short-billed Dowitcher 2 Wilson's Phalarope 4 It looked as though this spot could remain productive for a few days. There was quite a bit of activity in the marsh as well, with a flock of Black Terns, and vocal Soras, Virginia Rail, and Yellow-headed Blackbirds. I started at the Jirik sod farm, but there were no shorebirds present there.
