Today also present were two Buff-breasted Sandpipers at the same location. Martins

I also refound some Sanderlings that Diane Anderson had found earlier today. I also found 4 Red-necked Phalaropes as well. To get to the spot go east from the park entrance and go north on CR37 for 2.6 mi and then turn right (N) on 84th Ave and go 1 mile to the two bare fields on your left. The plovers are in the fields (difficult to find if they are away from the water puddles). The phalaropes were in the ponds on the opposite side of the road and Sanderlings were on both sides.
