Another quick trip to the pits revealed a big increase in Least Sandpipers,
numbers now up to 165. Semipalmated Sandpipers tripled to 3;o) and a WESTERN
SANPIPER now strode the flats. One peep was very interesting with a short
pointed bill, long black tibia and tarsus and unusual feather patterns on head
and back. I'll try for some more photos this weekend if it stays around. These
odd balls, when they show up, keep you looking at the details.
There is still a lack of water and the Stilt Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs
were not found during my short stay. Every day now should turn up something
new.
Good Birding!!!
