Yesterday afternoon around 4:30 Mary Lou and I found a pair of Blue Grosbeaks at the intersection of US 212 and 151st Ave. I was able to view the male Blue Grosbeak three times while it was perched on electrical wires on 151st and on 212 but was unable to get a photo and it did not reply to a recorded call. While I was chasing it three poles to the south Mary Lou while siting in the truck had the female land on a wire directly over 212. The day before Jason Frank and I found a flock of about 150 shorebirds two miles south at the corner of 151st Ave and 170th St. There is a flooded field at the north west corner. We found at least 120 Pectoral Sandpipers, 14 Semipalmated Sandpipers and 10 Lesser Yellowlegs. Also many Killdeer and one Virginia Rail.
