Birders, I checked Saylorville this morning. There was a small group of about 50 shorebirds at Oak Grove consisting mostly of Pectoral Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers, and Killdeer. However, there were also 3 Spotted Sandpipers and 2 Semipalmated Plovers as well. At Oak Grove beach, there were 2 Forster's Terns.
In the wooded picnic area of Oak Grove, I found a warbler flock consisting of 2 Black-and-White Warblers, 4 Chestnut-sided Warblers, a Canada Warbler, an American Redstart, a Blackburnian Warbler, and a Philadelphia Vireo. Off the dam were 3 Caspian Terns.
