[EBB Sightings] Ruddy Turnstone, Richmond Continues

Hi Everybody,

Early this afternoon Nick and I found TWO Ruddy Turnstones with the flock of 
about 20 Black Turnstones at the spot described below. We were lucky enough 
to get real good views of the birds since they decided to forage right next 
to the Sandpiper Spit road.  We also spotted a Spotted Sandpiper in the same 
area and a Belted Kingfisher and Pelagic Cormorant in the water on the other 
side of the road.

Nel Benningshof, Nick Despota
