[SBB] Stilt Sandpiper six-pack

[Dean Manley <[[email protected]]>]

Hi SBBers,

New Chicago Marsh, Alviso, 09/03/07.  A high count of 6 STILT 
SANDPIPER was achieved late this morning in the last large pond on 
the left side of the spur railroad track as you walk out from the EEC 
entrance road.  This equals the number in the original flock (I 
verified the 6 for sure with Bob) found by Bob R. and Frank V. on 
Friday, 08/31.  Some of the birders in attendance were Peggy Don, Ann 
Verde, Jack Cole, Mike Mammoser, Bob Reiling, Frank Vanslager and 
myself.  Of the 6 Stilt Sandpipers in today's count,  2 were foraging 
along the far back shoreline and 4 were in the islands. 2 of the 
island birds  were very close in, like within 2 feet off the near 
shoreline.

Not all birders stayed to the highest count but we all had fun and 
got out before it got to hot.
