Hello all,

I'm rather new to the birdnet, but have certainly been enjoying all the
reports!  I've never really known when a find is good enough to report, but
I'm fairly certain this one may interest some of you (I hope!).

I was looking for some of the longspurs here, and instead flushed up a
smallish bird....  It found a low perch and started...bouncing (ok, so it's
feet didn't leave the ground but you get the idea)!  It wasn't like a
sandpiper bobbing -- it was a full-body down-up motion.  Before I got my
binoc's locked on it, though, it flew down below a mini sand ledge and away,
and I lost it.

I finally moved on, and was elated to see it again, on the wood structures
by the Maritime house.  That time I got some good looks!  I ran home,
grabbed my camera and got several good ID pics (thank goodness it was still
there)!  I'll send some to the website...or let me know if I should attach
them to another email.

Other notables here this morning -- 3 Bonaparte's gulls, 3-4 horned grebes,
7-8 red-necked grebes, 10+ buffleheads, and more ducks that I just couldn't
ID.

Happy birding!
Amanda Ingraham
