I went out to look for Elegant Terns and got distracted by a
brightly marked juvenile peep imbedded in a flock of WESTERN
SANDPIPERS at the big pond in the South Jetty Shorebird Flats.
I am reasonable confident that it was a juvenile LITTLE STINT.
I did not get any photos, because the sequence is observe, note
details, get photos. A PECTORAL SANDPIPER spooked the flock before I
could get to the photographing.

I spent most of the rest of the morning sifting through the shorebird
flocks on the river beach. Lots of birds, but nothing like what I
first saw...
I may have heard ELEGANT TERN, didn't see any though.
