This was the first weekend since February that I did not have any new arrivals.
Not too much has changed besides the still more than 200 Pectoral Sandpiper
and more than 50 Greater Yellowlegs at Rice Lake(3 Lesser and a Killdeer as
well). The only other shorebirds found in the county besides Killdeer were 2
Greater Yellowlegs in the New Germany area. Fox Sparrows have mainly moved on
north with only a couple found today at Rapids Lake and none found at Carver
Park yesterday. 5 nest stands in the area are now occupied by Osprey.
