Today (6.30.22) at M Street in Auburn, there were LEAST and WESTERN SANDPIPERS as there were yesterday, but the 4 GREATER YELLOWLEGS I saw there yesterday were gone, and in their place was a single LESSER YELLOWLEGS. There was a also a female NORTHERN PINTAIL and an adult female YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD.

For every feather, preen, preen, preen, there is a reason.

At M Street in Auburn this morning:

Least Sandpiper - 11
Western Sandpiper - 1
Greater Yellowlegs - 4

All adults, of course.

Water and mud galore!! Frequent checking will yield results as southbound shorebird migration begins.
