4/6/08 Ed Davis Fish Farm (just outside Milan in Gibson Co) On the way home from work this morning I made a quick pass through Ed Davis Fish Farm, where there are still several drained ponds. Only one pond had any shorebirds, these being 48 Least Sandpipers, and a Semipalmated Sandpiper a little on the early side. It is usually the latter part of the month before I start seeing Semi Sands; this is my earliest date for a Semi. There were still over 100 Rusty Blackbirds feeding in the mud here as well. Otherwise not much, and I couldn't get to all of the area due to water being over the road. Good Birding!!
