Has anyone been to the Sanford Ponds lately? I am trying to decide if I should try this spot Friday. I am going to be with a fellow birder from England and wondering if it is holding any shorebirds or ducks at this time. Thanks for any information.

I was there on Tuesday, and it was pretty dead. The only ducks I had were a few Mallards, and a flock of about 75 Green-winged Teal. No shorebirds. I suspect that the water level in the area where I usually see shorebirds was too high to attract them.
Did have one Merlin whip through and chase a few pipits, but that's about it. I spooked a number of sparrows which dived for cover immediately, never to emerge again. I'm pretty sure they were Savannah.
