As in FYI, in addition to seeing the same continuing rarities at Stuart's
Draft, I also checked Leonard's Pond this morning for the continuing stilt
sandpiper, and did not see it despite giving a very thorough look. Still a
great spot to photograph the other shorebird species though. The sod farm
appeared empty of shorebirds as well, and freshly plowed.
Great birding,
Shea
