To further Ralph's message,
I arrived at the sod farms around 6:30pm. Scoping was excellent but I
found no Uplands. I'll be back in the morning though despite predicted
showers until 10:00.

Not to say that the Sandpipers won't be back in the morning, but I arrived at Woodward Turf Farm at about 3:45 PM this Saturday afternoon to join 4 frustrated birders who had at that point not seen any Uplands. The heat waves made scoping almost worthless until a breeze came up diminishing the heat waves which offered clearer views of the birds foraging about the sod farm, unfortunately all Meadowlarks. The other birders left about 4:30 PM but I stayed around until 5:30 PM. By then scoping was excellent, but still no Uplands made themselves visible.
Hope tomorrow's birders have better luck.
