This evening, at around 8:15 pm, my mom and I found an AMERICAN AVOCET in
the city of Sammamish, WA. It was on a seasonal pond just north of NE 8th
St. in between 228th and 244th Ave NE. I've posted pictures at:

After seeing a Wilson's Phalarope at this same location two weeks ago, we've
come to expect anything at the pond, but we almost couldn't believe our eyes
(or our luck) when we saw this Avocet. This pond, in a construction area,
is on private property but can be easily viewed from the road.
