Do we have shorebirds!!! I spent the day sitting on the mud flat at Blood
River. For the first few hours I watched 6 graceful young Buff-breasted
Sandpipers. They called and took flight to join a larger group and by the
end of the day there were 18 Buff-breasted Sandpipers surrounding my scope.
This is the largest number of this species I've seen on any of the mud flats.
Other birds of interest were 4 Sanderlings, Baird's Sandpipers (either the
same one kept showing up or there were 2). The usual expected shorebirds
were also around in numbers. Too bad Wood Duck season starts tomorrow.
