Hello all,
Made an unsuccessful attempt to locate the reeve in North Beach this PM,
4:30 to 5:45.  Lots of "peeps" on nice mudflats.  I believe they are mostly
semipalmated sandpipers with a couple westerns, one spotted sandpiper, two
snowy egrets, a nesting osprey, and some of each yellowlegs.

Was hoping someone who's good at sparrows would come along--saw a pale
sparrow with a yellowish supercilium on the mudflat at the edge of
vegetation.  Bird was far away, even with a scope  and was in view for only
a very short time before disappearing into the greenery.  Saw it only fom
side, couldn't tell if streaking on breast.  Tail was behind base of
vegetation.

Across the road, on the bay was one drake bufflehead.

If you're planning to look for this bird, the light is much better earlier
in the day.  ( I knew that, but went anyway.)

Good birding,
Linda Baker
