I do love being retired:

I was over at the Sod Farm 45 minutes after I saw Les' posting.   Around
3:15 today there were 3 Buff-breasted SP's -- I saw two at once in the same
[scope] field and another several yards away, along with 20+ killdeer, 9
horned larks, and a Wilson's snipe out in the open.

The BBSP's were in the field across from the brick house, perhaps half way
between it and the corn field to the east, just about even with the yellow
piece of machinery connected to the wheeled irrigation pipes.   The snipe
was at the back end of the brown-grass field, closer to the drive opposite
the brick house.
