Jeff Ellerbusch and Pete Burke found an Upland Sandpiper (UPSA) at the Weston Cross Way this morning. This is also known as the Manville Causeway. Park on the side of the road and scan the grassy area. At Schoolhouse Rd. in Franklin Township, Jeff and Pete located an adult Stilt Sandpiper (STSA). The UPSA is chaseable; the STSA is not. Schoolhouse Rd. is noteworthy for the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher that was there in May of 2012 and for the Sandhill Cranes that have frequented the area the past few years. Unfortunately, the former Schoolhouse Rd. field is under development and birdable only at your own risk.
