[SBB] Even More Stilt Sandpipers

At 8:30 this morning I checked the first pond north of the RR crossing on the EEC entrance road in Alviso. Five Stilt Sandpipers were close in, one was much farther out. It may have been chasing another Stilt. A while later I found two more birds, also far out, that I thought could be Stilts. They amazingly got up and flew in to join the five. I could not refind the others that were far out. So, a minimum of seven in the first pond! A harrier put an end to the Stilt counting, as all birds flew off, apparently to the east. I went over to the Spreckles St pond. Other birders there were observing a sleeping Stilt Sandpiper. I had noticed them from the tracks observing something. I picked out another sleeping Stilt, and two other that I could not be sure of. Since all these birds were sleeping, I think they were not some of the seven I saw from the tracks. So I believe there are nine, possibly thirteen, Stilts in the area! From Speckles St, one birder, Bill Dietrich, saw a Pectoral Sandpiper fly in. It moved to the south end and we did not see it again. Later, at the pond, near the dirt lot along the EEC entrance road, I saw another, or the same, Pectoral. It flew off. At the EEC, it was very quiet.
