For those who have noticed, Washington State and area is getting a lot of Stilt Sandpipers passing through. In checking county records I see many counties needing birders to get out there and be the first to find them in these counties. Below is a list of counties with no records for Stilt Sandpipers that I am aware of. If you know of some records for any of the following please let me know.

No records of Stilt Sandpipers in these counties:
Asotin
Chelan
Columbia
Cowlitz
Garfield
Kittitas
Klickitat
Lewis
Skamania
