Yesterday/Sunday, I and a few others had 1 Wilson's and 4 Red-necked Phalaropes at the Battelle Darby wetlands. No sign of Western Sandpiper, Baird's Sandpiper or Buff-breasted Sandpiper, but turnover here is high. Definitely worth checking frequently if you can spare the time. For a few more details, see this eBird checklist (for location info, click the "map" link at the top): http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11402131 Also present at the "south east pond" was 1 White-rumped Sandpiper (reported by Ben Warner and others; I never saw it). Similar species were seen at the "north pond" (see map below) including Short-billed Dowitcher. If you're unfamiliar with the hidden ponds and wetlands in this area, here is a map showing parking access for the two largest ponds (E and G on the map) that have been hosting shorebirds lately. As always, please respect adjacent private property, and minimize your disturbance of these birds so they get a chance to refuel before continuing south and so other birders can see them too!
