After 0 for 3 last week on the Stilt Sandpiper at Rest Lake, this afternoon
I was 3 for 1. Three Stilt Sandpipers on Rest Lake, River S Unit between
stops 12 & 13. Also 3 Red-necked Phalaropes, plenty of Western and Least
Sandpipers, both yellowlegs, and LB Dowitcher. The Green Heron was seen in
a few locations, most recently in Bower Slough between stops 9 & 10. Also
Black Phoebe at Bower Slough by stop #4 (one of six seen today) and
Red-shouldered Hawk from stop #2 > heading west. Eastern Kingbirds continue
on Bachelor Island where at least one nest was successful this summer.
