Juv STILT SANDPIPER at Hatton Rest Area sewage pond today Aug 17.
That's east of Othello (hwy 395 & #26). p 54 B2.
Lots (20?) of BAIRDS SANDPIPERS there also.
Few migrants further east at Washtucna, but managed to see GRAY CATBIRD,
OLIVE-SIDED, "WESTERN", & HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHERS. Another Birder
found a YB CHAT, but we missed it.

The Stilt SP was well seen. Yellowish legs, long, drooping bill, scaly
back, white eyeline.
Spent most of time belly deep in water, probing.

Good Birding,
Craig & Judy Corder
