MWS Shorebird Survey, August 15

.
During the August 15 International Shorebird Survey at Muskegon Wastewater I encountered ten species of shorebirds:
.
Semipalmated Plover 8
Killdeer 18
Spotted Sandiper 40
Solitary Sandpiper 1
Greater Yellowlegs 1
Lesser Yellowlegs 76
Ruddy Turnstone 1
Semipalmated Sandpiper 14
Least Sandpiper 53
Baird's Sandpiper 2

In addition, two juvenile Peregrine Falcons were flying by the landfill, and the leucistic Horned Lark is still present at the infiltration basins.
