Went to Lake Lemon this afternoon to look for shorebirds that were reported from there yesterday. Several species would be either new year birds or Indiana state birds.
Most of the shorebirds that were present yesterday were gone by the time I got there. Some of the more common species that I did see included Killdeer, Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper, Semipalmated Sandpiper, and Pectoral Sandpiper. The only bird of note was a single SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, which was Indiana state bird number 198 and year bird number 170.
