I had a FOY Upland Sandpiper in western Boone County this afternoon. I also witnessed a Northern Harrier make a few strafing runs over some shorebird flocks within a flooded pasture (also Boone County) until an unfortunate Lesser Yellowlegs "zigged when he should have zagged"...raptors always are an impressive sight!
