Re: [SBB] Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Pectoral Sandpiper

[[[email protected]]]

The Buff-breasted Sandpiper put in another appearance around 2:15 this  
afternoon, again just a short way north of the SW corner of A-16.  When I  first 
spotted the bird, it was right in the middle of the levee road, then moved  into 
the vegetation on the west side. We (Roland, Pat, and another birder)  
watched it forage in that area for around half an hour.  It was still there  when I 
left.
 
Also, Roland and Pat found a Pectoral Sandpiper in New Chicago Marsh on  
their way out to look for the BBSA.  It was foraging with peeps on floating  mats 
of green vegetation close to the levee road, around midway between the  EEC 
and the SW corner of A-16 (just about opposite the second island in  A-16).
 
Good birding,

The  juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper was still present this morning on
the  levee north of the south-west corner Pond A-16 discovered first by
Dave  Weber, seen also by Christine Wolfe, Kathy Parker, and  another
birder.  The walk out there from the EEC gave us great views  of
tornadoes of insects.  Yes, they really did look like  tornadoes.   I
have never seen anything else like this  before.  Bob Reilling and Frank
Vanslager were heading out that way as  I was leaving.
