Greetings all,
I went to Bradford beach to photograph the Western Sandpiper yesterday. With
other birders, it wasn't to hard to find since there was only the Western
Sandpiper, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Gulls, and a Lapland Longspur to view. Rick
Fare from Racine was there to assure identification, since the Western
Sandpiper had a visual white patch on the back, said to be a seasonal change.
The Lapland Longspur was a surprise to see as it quickly passed through heading
north. I had photographed a Lapland Longspur at about this same time at
Lakeshore State Park.
Since no-one has reported the Lapland Longspur, photos can be seen at:

It was good to see birders out at Bradford Beach and Lake Park again. There
were a few Warblers and discussions at Lake Park, that is always interesting.
Have a good day.
