Hi there, A visit to the Townsend Sewage Lagoons tonight revealed a nice variety of shorebirds including a Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Wilson's Phalarope, 2 Red-necked Phalaropes, a half dozen Stilt Sandpipers, and a Golden Plover. Perhaps 300 shorebirds in all. Also 2 visiting Americans, Shawn and Vicki were seen but also observed to leave the area. Hope you enjoyed your dinner!
To reach Townsend Sewage Lagoons, Take Hwy 6 south past Caledonia, turn right at the sign indicating Townsend. At the 4-way stop in Townsend, turn left, then right at the road just before the abandoned railway line. The lagoons are on the right -- park well clear of the entrance.
