Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Branch Co. WWTP

[Jhawillet at aol.com]

Sandy Schacht, Ryan Smith, and I found a Buff-breasted Sandpiper at the  
Branch County sewage treatment ponds at Kinderhook this afternoon.  It was  on the 
top and side of the dike around the pond immediately east of the  office.  
Though there were only a few shorebirds in all, an Am. Golden  Plover and a 
Ruddy Turnstone were also present.
 
>From I-69, exit at Copeland Road, the southernmost exit in Michigan.   Turn 
west for about 1/4 mile to the blinker light in Kinderhook.  Go north  on 
Angola Road.  The entrance to the WWTP is on the west side of the road  at the 
north edge of town.  There is a no trespassing sign on the fence  near the 
entrance, but I have talked with the manager and birders are welcome to  come in IF 
the gate is open.
