Birders continued to see the Upland Sandpipers last night and this evening. The best place to view them this evening was about 0.4 miles east of CR 4033 on CR 4038 (Mokane Road), looking north. If you don’t spot them immediately, keep scanning: they may have been up to a quarter mile out, even a bit more. Tonight, the Grasshopper Sparrow was again audible from that site. A new addition to Mokane Road today was about 25 Brewer’s Blackbirds nearer at the west end of the road (about 1 mile east of Hibernia Road).
Good birding everyone,
Pete

This evening there were four Upland Sandpipers together just south of Mokane Road (CR 4038) approaching the defunct bridge. I heard them quip-ip-ipping and was able to find them for photos. The exact location was 1 mile east of CR 4033. I also heard a Grasshopper Sparrow from this point; they breed in that location every year.
Mokane Road is already full of Lark Sparrows and had several Scissor-tailed Flycatchers perched along it. A flock of more than 100 American Golden-Plovers fed in a field east of the trailer home, which is between CRs 4035 and 4033. The Mokane Road hotspot is really starting to show off.
