An Upland Sandpiper was seen yesterday near the sod farms. It was still around today. The bird was seen on the east side of Britton Rd, between Olsen and Burmeister. When I arrived, it was maybe 75yds out, feeding in the grass. I would say it provided fairly good views, but the heat distortion was terrible! I watched it for about 30 minutes, and the last 10 or so, it went into the stubble field and was harder to find. With the storms and wind still from the south, it’s possible it would still be around tomorrow, good habitat for it. I was able to manage a few photos despite the heat distortion. Enjoy!
