but saw and heard very good numbers of Dickcissels.

Jim and I tried to locate the White-Rumped and Semi-palmated Sandpipers in Bartow county yesterday. I guess we should have gone earlier as the ponds were all filled with four-legged animals. No self-respecting sandpiper would have been around the ponds as full of cattle as they were. There were only a few Killdeer and a couple of female Mallards with their little families.

We did, however, find that the fields (along Brandon Farms Rd and Taff Rd) were full of Dickcissels and Eastern Meadowlarks. Needless to say, it was pretty noisy.

Going to have to try again for those sandpipers, but we'll go earlier - before the cattle go swimming.
