[cobirds] Upland Sandpiper and Black-necked Stilt chicks, Weld Co.

Hello all,

On Friday June 27 I saw an Upland Sandpiper on the Pawnee National Grassland. It was along Rd. 69 about half-way between Roads 96 and 104, about a quarter of a mile south of stop #7 on the birding tour route. It was sitting on a wooden fence post on the west side of the road, and then flew out into the grass just west of the road, landed and disappeared.

On the way back from Pawnee, I saw a pair of adult Black-necked Stilts with 2 small chicks at Ireland Reservoir. This is 2 miles east of Hudson, on Road 49 just north of Highway 52.
