[Birdnet] White-rumped Sandpiper

[Roostertael at aol.com]

Hi,
 
I did not post this Sunday, but now wish I had. I saw a sandpiper on the  
north side by itself and I stopped to make sure it was a Baird's for my year  
list. I was studying the tail / wing relationship when it flew and revealed the  
white rump. I checked Sibley shortly afterward and realized just how gray it  
was. I called Bob Huntington and he came up and we looked for several hours 
for  it. There are so many peeps there I thought it would be impossible. We told 
 the Beyers about it and they failed to find it either.
 
I went back this morning to see if I could find it for a picture. No luck,  
but I ran into Bob Huntington and Bob McDougal and they had found it. It is so  
gray it should be possible to find.
