At 2 pm, Ross Barnes-Rickett and I relocated the 5 Buff-breasted Sandpipers
found by Zack Schlanger at the south end of Sturgeon Lake, Oak Island,
Sauvie Island, Multnomah county. From the boat ramp, walk south along the
shore of Sturgeon Lake for what seems like an interminable time (20-30
minutes). The birds were with 15-20 Killdeer in a very wide stretch of
mudflats. When you view them, you can see the southern tip of the lake just
behind them. Thanks for pointing us toward them, Zack and Peyton!
