Stilt Sandpiper-1 adult found north of the bridge & east of the road. This
bird was gray/brown on the back and lighter gray underneath. Not white
underneath like a Lesser Yellowlegs right next to it. The STSA had a long
dark bill, slighty drooping. It fed in shallow water like a dowitcher, at
times with its entire head submerged. Legs were almost as yellow as the
LEYE.

I tried to bird Quincy STP again last night but the wind from the north was
incredible, blowing dust and making birding nearly impossible. Adding
insult to injury, the wind waited until I was between the "lake" and the
"sludge pool" to blow the nasty liquid from the lake onto me and continued
to do so until I could get to the other side of the lake. Ooooooohhh. Oh,
the perils of birding. :-)
