Hello Scott and Tweets,

Correction on the latest date ever for a Baird's Sandpiper. There is one
confirmed winter record of a Baird's Sandpiper found by Doug Schonewald near
Moses Lake on the 31st of January 2004,where it remained for just a few days
and seen by a few other observers.

Sincerely,

Ruth and Patrick Sullivan
