From: Mike Patterson - mpatters at orednet.org
As of 1600hr today the RED-NECKED STINT reported yesterday had not
been relocated. A SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, up to 5 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS,
WESTERN SANDPIPERS and LEAST SANDPIPER were in and out of the flats.
They were very flighty in the strong northwest wind and often difficult to
observe closely.
5 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS and a large flock of CANADA GEESE were in
the slough at Wireless rd.
