All,

This morning Frank Vanslager and I had the STILT SANDPIPER in New Chicago 
Marsh in the first pond on the right side of the RR tracks [as you head northwest 
from the EEC entrance road].  A single SNOWY PLOVER was in one of the ponds 
south [left side] of the RR tracks a hundred yards or so from where they join 
the mainline leading into Alviso.  On our way back three large flocks of 
shorebirds flew over the RR tracks from the marsh into the pond near the 
intersection of State St. and Spreckles Ave.  Inspection of these flocks revealed that 
the Stilt Sandpiper was now in this pond (State & Spreckles).  A couple other 
birders joined us as we moved to Spreckles Ave. [for better viewing/better air] 
where we had good views of the bird as it tried to sleep and/or preen as 
Dowitchers moved around it.  We then decided that on our way home we would make 
another quick stop near the first pond northeast of the RR tracks where Frank 
fairly quickly located the RUFF (REEVE) which was now actively feeding in the 
channel behind and to the left of the "first" pond.  We were then able to point 
this bird out to another birder before we were forced to finally head home.

Take care,
Bob Reiling, 2:12 PM, 8/21/03
