May 24th, 2005, Krif Road fields, Keene.

At Krif Road fields and in the surroundings, slight increases in some of the shorebird numbers
 from yesterday, while others had departed altogether. The weather continues to worsen with constant showers, northern winds and temperatures below 50 deg. F.






Shorebirds;
Solitary Sandpiper - 7
Spotted Sandpiper - 8
Least Sandpiper - 7
Semi-palmated Plover - 4
Greater Yellowlegs - 9

Otherwise a rather similar selection of species to yesterday but a (pale) Horned Lark and
2 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were new. The pale Horned Lark was feeding close to the road when I first
arrived and I managed to get a few shots through binoculars before passing cars eventually flushed it.
