[EBB Sightings] Sharp-tailed Sandpiper Continues at Hwd Shoreline

The STSA continues as of about 12:30 today.  I refound the bird after almost everyone had left in the NW corner roughly in the same area as the SURFBIRDs.

I'll post photos if any are good.

Hi birders,

I arrived at Frank's Dump at  around 11:45 today, with no other birders or 
the target bird in sight.   Other birders eventually trickled in, along with a 
report that the bird had been  seen earlier right in the northwest corner of 
FD, close to the trail.   After an hour or so of milling around and scoping the 
pond, I finally spotted  the bird mixed in with a group of Willets and Marbled 
Godwits.  We all got  good looks at it before it hunkered down for a siesta.  
It was in the  northwest "quadrant" of the pond but quite distant from the 
trail.

After  missing the bird by about half an hour on Monday, and by about one 
minute  yesterday (when it was apparently flushed by someone approaching too 
closely), I  was quite happy that the third time was a charm.

Good birding,
Kathy  Robertson
