Just an update for those that would like to get the bird. I was out this
morning at low tide at the sewage ponds but there was no Little Stint to be
found. I'm going to try this afternoon during high tide when it's more
likely to be present.

The bird was found by Rick and Mike Toochin yesterday at the south Iona
jetty tip. The bird was seen in a flock of about 20 Westerns. Odds are
that we might be able to find it easier in the afternoon at high tide.

The consolation for this morning are:

8 Thayer's Gulls
Merlin
Peregrine
Pectoral Sandpipers
Lesser Yellowlegs and
Common Snipe
American Pipits and lots and lots of
Savannah Sparrows

Other than that it was a quite area. Hope high tide will produce what we
are looking for!

Keep you posted!
