Sandpiper migration charms Wisconsin birders in July
Sam Robbins of Madison notes an uptick in sandpiper activity on Wisconsin mudflats, detailing least and buff-breasted arrivals from Canada to Virginia and northward routes through the Great Plains. He describes observing various species at a Middleton sod farm, including ring-billed gulls, pigeons, mourning doves, upland sandpipers, killdeer, and a striking buff-breasted sandpiper, while offering tips for fellow birders and noting broader late-summer movements among swallows and herons.
