[mou] Jirik/Castle Rock sod farms - no birds

Visited both the Jirik (in Empire) and Castle Rock sod farms (off highway 3 and
280th st.) and no birds were seen.  Had hoped for some plovers, but little sod
has been stripped in either place and there is no water to speak of. Would
appreciate postings on shorebirds.  Plovers should be coming down and long-
billed dowitchers as well as a few buff-breasted sandpipers.
