Hi all: Sue Evanoff and I found a lone American Avocet along Wilderness Road near Funk Bottoms WA this AM. We returned in the PM and the bird was still there when we left around 2:00. Other shorebirds in the same area were Killdeer, Least Sandpipers, Semi-palm Sandpipers, and Pectoral Sandpiper. Another party said they also saw a Baird's Sandpiper and a Semi-palm Plover.
