Hello birders,

With the aid of Rob Rieling to actually locate the bird (which I had 
previously missed), I was able to get good views a STILT SANDPIPER at 
about 9:45 this morning for several minutes.  It was preening actively 
in with a group of DOWITCHERS.  I happened to find Rob and Frank 
Vanslager as I made a quick pre-work stop.

For those like me who are still fairly new to birding, the following 
might help you identifying this bird: The rufous cheek patch is not very 
evident compared to what Sibley shows.  The black tertials have what 
appeared to be double white spots.  The white supercilium is very evident.

As reported before by others, we found this bird in the first large pond 
on your right as you walk away from the entrance road to the Alviso EEC 
along the railroad tracks heading in the general direction of the bay.

I left Rob and Frank heading further out, so we might see a report from 
them later today.  None of us were able to locate the RUFF by the time I 
left.

-Eric
