Here are a few distant digiscoped shots of the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper from
tonight. Google Earth shows it was at just over 200 yards.

Other Highlights from a walk around the Royal observation platform pond this
afternoon were:
Cackling Goose - 90
Horned Grebe - 1
GOLDEN PLOVER - 2 (a second bird was with what appears to be the same AMERICAN
GOLDEN PLOVER that has been there for several days now. At 300+ yards, the two
birds look nearly identical, same coloration on wings, back and breast, both
show a prominent white supercillium, but I could not get close enough to see
the primaries well. So, I'm not sure about the ID of the second bird)
Black-bellied Plover - 25
Killdeer - 50
Greater Yellowlegs - 20
Lesser Yellowlegs - 1
Sharp-tailed Sandpiper - 1
Least Sandpiper - 15
Western Sandpiper - 60
Pectoral Sandpiper - 15
Long-billed Dowitcher - 250
Wilson's Snipe - 6
Red-necked Phalarope - 1
Good Birding,
