<color><param>0000,0000,FF00</param>The two juvenile Baird's sandpipers were
present this morning. They were on the
mud flats around the smaller pond south
of the large pond. They were with one
Least sandpiper and a Solitary sandpiper
and a female Northern shovler. Several
photos at close range were secured by
myself and Stauffer Miller.It is obvious
from the postings here that very few
birders know of the western pond. This
ponds is accessed from the Harney road
by turning north at the "Mason Dixon"
sign and then turning right onto the
DUSTY farm lane. This lane goes
directly to the farm complex and
visitors should be careful to park
completely OFF the road. The pond is
raised above the road level and is on
the left hand side of the lane. The
best viewing is from the edge closest to
the lane. Please remember to park
completely off the lane.There are
numerous Pectoral sandpipers, Least, and
Semipalmated sandpipers, Lesser
yellowlegs, Semipalmated plovers and
Killdeer. A juvenile Short-billed
dowitcher was a real treat this
morning.</color><color><param>0000,0000,FF00</param>Wilbur Hershberger
