The number of birds using the pond was much lower this morning than it was last night, but the nice light made up for the fewer birds. 
Birds seen this am between 0900 and 1000:
Least Sandpiper- ~7
Semipalmated Sandpiper- ~250
Western Sandpiper- at least 2 maybe one more
Greater Yellowlegs- 2
Lesser Yellowlegs- 3
Semiplamated Plover- 4
Short-billed Dowitcher- 10
Dunlin- 20

Rather pleasant hearing Meadowlarks and Bobwhites calling while scanning the pond.
