This evening after work, I went to the Black Dirt Region to follow up on several reports of a good variety of shorebirds. I expected today to be good (it might have been good timing for a personal day), after the storms that came through the area last night. I joined Diane Bliss and Kyle Knapp and I thoroughly enjoyed a pleasant evening with some fabulous birds:
- Black-bellied Plover (1)
- Semipalmated Plover (3)
- Killdeer (35+)
- Least Sandpiper (16)
- Pectoral Sandpiper (7)
- Semipalmated Sandpiper (5)
- Short-billed Dowitcher (4)
