Juvenile with beautiful golden-flecked plumage on back. Black "armpits"
observed.
Same area had 1 semipalmated plover, 1 semipalmated sandpiper, 1 pectoral
sandpiper, 1 spotted sandpiper, and a tree swallow. Peregrine falcon was
seen on Big 4 railroad bridge.
Sedge wren, Wilson's snipe, swamp and Lincoln's sparrows mid-afternoon at
Garvin Brown Preserve near Hays Kennedy Park. Previously reported Nelson's

birds that popped up and back down).
