WPBO - 12 Buff-breasted Sandpipers

[Tom Auer]

Today marked the arrival of the BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER at Whitefish Point.
A total of 12 flew past the point during the count. The first was around
10:30, with a flock of three amongst Sanderlings. While the other nine came
along closer to 1:30, again joined by Sanderlings. All of these birds
continued on, except for a single one that broke from the latter flock and
hung around.

As well, today, a WHITE-WINGED SCOTER flew by in the wrong direction.

The major Red-necked Grebe movements have yet to come, as all but one day of
the count have had well under 100 birds.
