Nice Pecs!
Not a compliment I get paid very often... Yesterday Joan and I finally managed to track down a Pectoral Sandpiper in the county, at the Davis Wastewater Treatment Plant...
... only to hear that Ed Harper had found 3 the day before at the Yolo Wildlife Area. We went that evening to find at least 5 birds feeding at close range, but in very tricky light. Here's one with a Greater Yellowlegs...
... and a Killdeer.
We came back this morning, thinking that the morning light would result in some excellent photographic opportunities, only to find that they'd all cleared off! Instead, I took a few shots of the numerous Greater Yellowlegs, Least Sandpipers and Long-billed Dowitchers.
