Tweets,
Yeserday evening on my way over to the TRicolored BB spot, which I was
able get some views of this morning I stopped at Atkins Lk. and there was
a small yet *very* diverse group of shorebirds along the road which
divides the lake. In this group was 2 Bairds Sandpiper, 2 Semipalmated
Sandpiper, 1 Alternate plumaged Black-bellied PLover, 4 Greater
Yellowlegs.
This morning in the mudflat area at the base of the cliff where the
Tricolored BB's were first seen was a Solitary Sandpiper, which stayed for
about 20 minutes.
