Made a brief afternoon stop by Lucky Hammock and the surrounding area yesterday (28th). There are many puddles in the plowed fields in this area creating lots of shorebird habitat. I never found any big concentrations, but I did see the following species:

Black-necked Stilt
Solitary Sandpiper
Lesser Yellowlegs
Least Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Upland Sandpiper (4 at the south end of 217th, 3 ads 1 juv)

Also, in the field SE of the Hammock were a pair of Sandhill Cranes, calling and dancing. No migrant landbirds of note except for a fair number of Barn Swallows.
