He claims one can see "both yellowlegs, Spotted Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, and large numbers of Common Snipe (100+ seen)" on page 97 in the 2008 edition. It was a surprise to read that these shorebirds would exist in farmland, 30 miles inland from the coast. I'm thinking it's a typo, because I have driven past this spot many times and have yet to see a pond, anywherer (unless it is set back on private property, not visible from the road). Can anyone offer some assistance? Is this indeed a typo? You can contact me at kshart32@aol.com.
