All, Much like Jasons recent post I tried to find some shorebirds at Lake Byllesby no shorebird habitat to note. I however had great luck at 180th Street Marsh. While looking through the marsh I heard the call of an avocet overhead I was surprised to see two Whimbrels flying over with the avocet! They quickly flew over the marshes and headed north. There is shorebird habitat at either end of the marsh unfortunately not much visibility. Tried driving the back roads in the area but could only find yellowlegs. Just wanted to give a heads up to everybody that they still might be in the area if you can find the habitat.
