Good news, another new lifer!

A friend and I arrived at Marymoor, parking lot B, on Friday at 1:15pm. We quickly found the Buff-breasted Sandpiper in the company of a large number of Killdeer and a few Starlings.

I was surprised that no one else was there when we arrived, however, it was very exciting to locate him without the help of any other on-site birders. He was very active, foraging back and forth along the edge of the center gravel road. When we left at 2:25pm he was still there.

Thanks to all who posted their sightings and great directions!
