[va-bird] Baird's Sandpiper in Rockingham County


Hello all

When I saw Jonh Irvine's report on the Baird's Sandpiper , Pat & I ran out 
before the some what fading light to see if the bird was still there . Upon our 
arrival we saw Tom Pendleton looking for the Sandpiper . After about 5 minutes 
of looking Tom found the bird in the right corner of the pond near the road . A 
life bird for all of us . Other birds seen are listed below . The Plover was 
not there & all of the Killdeer were gone . The Blue -- winged Teal & Shoveler 
were still there & just before leaving we had a Nighthawk show with 309 birds 
flying South over the tree line & as Pat & I were going to the pond on Rt. 678 
we had about 20 Nighthawks .We left the pond at 7:55 & the show lasted for 
about 20 minutes .

Lesser Yellowlegs -- 2
Solitary -- 2
Spotted -- 2 or 3
Western Sandpiper -- 1 
Least -- 2
Baird's -- 1 -- when we left the bird was in the left corner of the pond near 
the road .

Happy Birding to all
