I joined Danny Poet at the sod farm between 4:30 and 5:00, but the
Buff-breasted Sandpipers were a no-show. I stopped again around 7:35 pm and
the three birds were in the exact spot described previously ... almost
directly across from the house and in the burned out field. They were in
closer, maybe around 75 feet from the road.
I watched them for nearly 10 minutes, but the light was fading fast and my
ID is about 80% sure. But based on prior observations of 3 birds and their
location, it probably was them.
