14. American Golden-Plover

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    Small Pluvialis plover at the edge of the main pond. In the field, we considered Pacific Golden-Plover as an option, but lack of golden wash on the face and breast plus relatively short tertial projection relative to the tail and four primary tips visible indicate American, not Pacific.

21. Stilt Sandpiper

    Number observed:  550

    Details

    Mixed with dowitchers, and this only includes the birds within 200 m. There were more shorebirds further away that likely included this species. Close birds in tight packs counted by tens through the scope.

    Media

22. Least Sandpiper

    Number observed:  314

23. Semipalmated Sandpiper

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    There were almost certainly many more Semipalmated Sandpipers present, but the only one we saw up close was this individual with a leg deformity. With some acrobatics, it was able to forage rapidly, but the state of its plumage suggests that the leg deformity is taking its toll.
