[SBB] Multiple Baird's Sandpipers in New Chicago Marsh

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
This morning Peggy Don, Frank Vanslager and I had prolonged sightings of  
several juvenile BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS in the far southeastern pond in New Chicago  
Marsh.  At times the birds in that section of the marsh would  flush, for 
various reasons, dispersing the BASA.  However, we would soon  find two BASA 
together (often in a muddy portion of the pond) then there  would be three and 
often four BASA all in one very small compact group.  At  one point Peggy and I 
had five BASA in one scope view.  When trying for  these birds look for a fairly 
large (slightly larger than a Western Sandpiper),  buffy breasted sandpiper 
with long primaries (projecting well past the  tail), a very bright scaly 
mantle, a fairly short straight black bill, and  black legs.
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
