[SBB] Semipalmated Sandpiper, New Chicago Marsh

["Steve and Heather Rottenborn" <[[email protected]]>]

This evening (31 July), I had an adult Semipalmated Sandpiper north of the 
railroad tracks in New Chicago Marsh in Alviso.  The bird was in mostly 
alternate plumage but had started to acquire some basic scapulars.  Also 
present were two Snowy Plovers (one each in the northeast and northwest 
parts of the marsh), 2 Lesser Yellowlegs (vs. 5 Greaters), 3 Whimbrels, and 
an adult Peregrine Falcon snacking on something on the ground in the marsh. 
Two juveniles were among the 250 or so Western Sandpipers; all of the 150 
Leasts were adults.
