Since many sightings of Buff Breasted Sandpipers have been hitting the listserv, I decided to check a reliable spot this morning to see if they had returned. I wasn't disappointed also adding a new specie to the reservoir for me anyway. A list of shorebirds is as follows:


Am. Golden Plover  1 flyover
Killdeer  21
Spotted Sandpiper  11
RUDDY TURNSTONE  1
RED KNOT  1  juv. bird new to the area
SANDERLING  1
Semipalmated Sandpiper  2
Least Sandpiper  3
BAIRD'S SANDPIPER  1
BUFF BREASTED SANDPIPER  7  very tame allowing close approach.
