Whimbrel, BB Plovers

["Carol Gwynn" <cgwynn at earthlink dot net>]

There was still 1 Whimbrel on the Antelope Island Causeway late this
afternoon  (Tues. May 6).  It was in with a group of avocets and nearly two
dozen Black Bellied Plovers close to Mile 6, on the south side.  And the
plovers could be enjoyed close in without having to make the 1 1/2 mile
muddy hike!  The area around Mile 3 was loaded with Sanderlings, Western,
and a few Semi-Palmated Sandpipers.  Couldn't find the 11 Dunlin that Joel
reported.  Maybe they were just hiding, or are well on their way.   Carol
