After heavy overnight rain in northern Boone Co. I headed up to Bjorkboda Marsh to see what might be found. But there were far more shorebirds in many flooded fields than at Bjokboda.
I ended up with 12 kinds of shorebirds this morning, including both *American Avocets* and *American Golden Plovers*. Best for me were 2 new FOY--a *Baird's Sandpiper* and a few *White-rumped Sandpipers*. This is now a far better shorebird year for me than last year!
If you are searching for shorebirds, I recommend checking all the flooded fields anywhere near you.
