[Al Stokie]

Hello Bird People,

After Bob & I went to Goose Lake Prairie on Sunday I saw on Discord
that Owen W had a Baird's Sandpiper at Techny North so I stopped on
the way home & the Baird's Sandpiper was still present at noon. But
other shorebirds that Owen had seen were gone. Today I again went to
Techny North & although there were more shorebirds there was nothing
special when I was there.
