Hey guys!
So I went out to Edmonds marsh yesterday to search for shorebirds, and saw
a bunch of Least Sandpipers, Western Sandpipers and Killdeer, (YAY!
Shorebird migration!!!!) but I also saw this other sandpiper which,
compared to a Killdeer, looked bigger then the rest. I only got bad photos,
but pattern wise it looks weird too. Anybody want a say in this bird? Any
help is appreciated! Maybe it will be something good! (probably not, but I
can hope)
Here it is with a Killdeer and a Peep looking blob

Also at the marsh were Great-blue Herons and some young Song Sparrows. I
went out to the waterfront and was dazzled by the differences in Olympic
Gulls, and saw a Pigeon Gullimont, Rhinoceros Auklets (3) Caspian Tern and
some Hermann's gulls. I was happy to see that there are still cool birds
around, even in the July doldrums!
Thanks for any help, and see cool birds!!! Maybe even some strange
shorebirds!!!
