At 9:30 am, the Whimbrel walked out from behind the shrubs hiding the
northwestern corner of the wetland and stayed visible long enough for a
good scope view.  While scanning for the Whimbrel to return, I found a long
distant Buff-breasted Sandpiper along the far shore of the estuary
wetland.  To ensure the ID, I used 60x. A medium sized, smaller and less
robust than nearny Killdeer, small headed almost dove-like, very active
feeder, walking and picking the surface continuously, yellow legs, buffy
face and upper breast fading into white under parts, very small bill much
less visible than nearby Pectoral Sp. which had longer bills, Buff-breasted
lacked the sharp demarcation of streaks on breast of Pectoral.  Found the
Buff-breasted at about 9:45 am.
