Dunlin and Wilson's Phalaropes at the El Paso Sewage Treatment Center in Woodford County, IL
I went to El Paso Sewage Treatment Center this morning before work and ran into Ted Hartzler. I was able to identify maybe half the shorebirds there with the time I had. So there were probably between 30 and 60 shorebirds there. The clearly marked Western Sandpiper that Ted Hartzler had yesterday was not on the flat, but there was a Dunlin and a White-rumped Sandpiper on the flat in the Northwest lagoon. There were three Wilson's Phalaropes found by Ted on the west side of the center pond near the berm. Other shorebirds included Least, Semipalmated, Pectoral sandpipers, and Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs. There were 3 American Pipits, and Ted had Bobolink there yesterday.
