Hi All,

As soon as we saw Joe Hanfman's post about the big golden-lover flock in 
the field nestled into the corner of Flatland Rd (514) and Mary Morris 
Rd we were out the door. It took some careful field-combing but we 
eventually relocated them in the low part of the field and counted them 
from Flatland Rd. We counted 63 American Golden-Plovers, all appeared to 
be juveniles. Also present in the area were 2 Pectoral Sandpipers, 10 
Killdeer, a Greater Yellowlegs (across the road near the grassy pond), 
24 Horned Larks, and 5 Bald Eagles (one adult).

Good birding,

Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin
