On Saturday morning 2/9 in with the 200 Dunlin at Iona Regional Park in BC (west of the parking spots) I saw several western sandpiper (definitely not least, perhaps semi-palmated?).
There was a white one, same size as western, not as big as a sanderling. Any thoughts about if there are leucistic western sandpipers?
here's the rest of the list:
150 Brant,
5 Mallard
1 Northern Pintail
200 Greater/Lesser Scaup
2 Ruddy Duck
2 Killdeer
180 Dunlin
4 Western Sandpiper
30 Mew Gull
2 Ring-billed Gull
2 Herring Gull
2 Glacous-winged Gull
15 Gull sp.
2 Great Blue Heron
1 Northern Harrier
3 Bald Eagles
3 Red-tailed Hawks
1 Northern Shrike
15 Northwestern Crows
1 Common Raven
2 Song Sparrow
