After a rather slow spring, Lake Byllesby is living up to its reputation as a great shorebird spot today. This morning there were several hundred shorebirds, including Stilts, Leasts, Pecs, Semipalmated, Baird's, and White-rumped Sandpipers, plus Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Plovers, and Wilson's Phalaropes. Also present was a late pair of Greater White-fronted Geese. The birds are on the mudflats across the lake, so a scope is needed.
