[Both HUGO were reportedly seen earlier.] A juvenile PECTORAL SANDPIPER was also seen in New Chicago Marsh and later we had the STILT SANDPIPER in the pond at State St and Spreckles Ave [it had apparently been there all morning]. It's interesting to note that although a number of birders are interested in seeing [and have seen] these birds only one call has been made to the Northern California Rare Bird Hotline since the initial report. One birder, this morning, drove from Santa Barbara based on a Calbird e-mail report, this despite the fact that some on that service were apparently concerned about whether the birds were still here or not [this is second hand info as I'm no longer on Calbird]. You certainly can't blame them for their concern since we can't be bothered to let people know, via the hotline, of the birds continuing presence. Makes you wonder what birds some other people are not willing to share with us? This is the sound of me now getting off the pulpit.
