Hi Tweets

I was one of the newly arrived birders, and we did go over to the 204th
treatment ponds. The Stilt and Greater Yellowlegs were in the easternmost
pond, working the northern edge of the ponds. This was from about 9:15 to
9:30 when I left. Traffic was horrible resulting in the delay in reporting.

Good Birding

Subject: [Tweeters] Kent Stilt Sandpiper

Hi, Tweets,

The Stilt Sandpiper was present near the sand bars on the east side of the
Green River this morning from my arrival at 7:40 till about 9. At that
time, it flew with a yellowlegs and seemed to be going down at the ponds on
204th. A couple of newly arrived birders went that way to check. Before
then, it had been pretty faithful to the spot, veering off and returning
when the yellowlegs flew off north a half hour earlier, ignoring a departing
peep headed south before that. I don't know where it goes when it's neither
at these sand bars nor on the ponds at 204th (as was reported by another
birder when I was at the river two days ago).

(Yes, walk north from Three Friends Fishing Hole and view the area from the
dike on the east bank of the river. While you could possibly hop the fence
to walk the dike on the west side of the river, it's farther from the sand
bars, and I don't know that you could even see the river with all the
adjacent willows and alders most of the way.)
