It was another lovely day at Hi Lonesome. All of the usual suspects were present except for the American Kestrel. Swallows have taken over the Kestrel nest. List is on ebird. I have not previously reported the Upland Sandpiper because I had not heard them or seen them. However, Ryan Steffens reported he had seen/heard one on May 1. I still have not heard one, but on the advice of Veronica Mecko who did the Climate Watch with me yesterday, I walked part of the path up to the old lek. As soon as I entered the prairie, one UPSA flew in and landed in the tall grass. It was not a soul-satisfying look, but it was a look. For those seeking a look at one, they are there. Not exactly easy to see, but there. Happy Birding! Marge Lumpe Benton County
