But most intriguing was a circling shorebird that tried to land on Center Drive west T flooded section along the horse trail while I was working supervising weekend woodland volunteers. Based on body size, darkish wings ( no wing stripe) and brownish uppers , it possibly might have either been Pectorals Sandpiper or Wilson's Snipe (most likely).But there were way too many people on the drives... Too bad...But one identified shorebird seen later was Solitary Sandpiper by me and Rob Bate , on the black plastic by the rink cove.
Greenwood Cemetery was reported highly bird active per Rob Jett ..see his report...Prospect Lake sees an increase in Northern Shovelers (54)
