Figured I'd try my luck after reading Brian's first report.

Between 5-6pm, I found several Killdeer in the dry grassy field between the
main west entrance and softball field #3. Started with about 6, and the
group grew to 15 milling about, some resting. No coveted BB sandpiper. Had
the scope and camera all primed and ready too.

On the way around a loop of the park, one briefly entertaining and
intriguing site was what I guess had to be a White-crowned Sparrow very
acrobatically snatching flying termites out of the air at the east end of
the large snags. The crown looked *very* rufous in the setting sunlight
(West Taiga?), which peaked my interest. Breast was buff. It seemed almost
too small for a WC Sparrow, but I only got two brief glimpses. I hung
around for a few minutes and pished a bit, but it wasn't long before the
light got poor after no further activity from the bird.

I looped back to the grassy field at 7:30pm to see that the Killdeer had
left.
