Shorebirds in Ames

[Doug & Nina Harr]

Coming west out of Ames this afternoon, I noticed some geese and several small shorebirds in a flooded pond on the south side of Lincoln Way. So I turned in and started searching the pond to find all of the following:

Killdeer  ~20

Semi-palmated Plover  3 (photo with this note)

Baird's Sandpiper  1

Least Sandpiper  ~7

Pectoral Sandpiper  4

Solitary Sandpiper  1

Fall shorebird migration is definitely underway!

Great picture, Doug.  We were still finding a few shorebirds in the field ponds, but unfortunately the ponds have now all dried up.
