This afternoon about 4:00 p.m. I located a single Western Sandpiper at Browns Bridge, Rocky Gorge/Duckett Reservoir on the Howard County side. Reddish feathers in the scapulars, long bill with dip at the end. It's the palest bird out there. Also present several Semipalmated Sandpipers, a dozen plus Least Sandpipers, and at least three Pectoral Sandpipers. And Killdeer.
Look out for the thunderstorm, which chased several of us out of there.
