Buff-breasted sandpiper spotted on Wisconsin sod farm
Wisconsin birders document buff-breasted sandpipers at a Middleton sod farm near shorebird hotspots. The sighting follows long odds, since the species is scarce in Wisconsin with most records in August and September and few in May. Observers note habitat shifts to short grass prairies and exposed dirt as key for finding the species.

Lac du Flambeau representatives met to review an initial weekend test of the department reaction to earlier actions. The DNR paused arrests and confiscations, citing safety and enforcement concerns as six bands seek negotiated regulation under 1983 treaty rights.
