Hey Tweets,
I almost do not want to report this, so BE CAREFULL!!!!!!

I re-found one WHIMBREL in Kent. It was in the grassy field south and east of Smith Brothers, at around noon today.

There is NO parking and barely any shoulder along that stretch. I kinda paused while in the north-bound lanes of the Valley Highway, and got a quick look with my bins during a hole in traffic.

If you chase this bird, be VERY CAREFULL along that stretch of road !!
