Birders, While out on a very unsuccessful hunt for monarch butterflies this afternoon, I took a quick peek at the lake here at Swan Lake State Park. The shorebird habitat is fantastic, but I just had a second to scan a small piece of shoreline. There are hundreds of shorbs right now, many ducks, many black terns, and near the southwest corner of what's left of the lake was a single SANDERLING. I'm hoping to have more time to do a more thorough search of all the craziness on the mudflats tomorrow. Bird on... matt Matthew T. Wetrich Naturalist, Carroll County Conservation Board
