It's that time of year again, time to sift through all the shorebirds you see hoping for an oddball, something lost, something that's not supposed to be here.
From the sounds of it, there have been some good things that potentially could work their way southward (towards ME!). From north to south:
SE Alaska
Red-necked Stint
Ruff
British Columbia:
Common Greenshank
Red-necked Stint
Ruff
Washington:
Curlew Sandpiper
Ruff
Oregon:
Spotted Redshank
Red-necked Stint
Ruff
California:
Little Stint (2 different birds/locations)
Curlew Sandpiper
Ruff
Last fall, I was lucky to be in Davis for the COMMON RINGED PLOVER as well as a RUFF in Oregon, another RUFF in CA, and two different SHARP-TAILED SANDPIPERS in CA.
So, here's to hoping for something good this fall!
