Species Account:
Danette and Matthew Hendersen, Julie Morgan and friend, Bob Kiernan, John Battalio, and Robert Mortensen were with Gary Worthington and me for most of this count. We all saw the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper.
These birds were first found about an hour before we saw them by Jay Carlisle and Heidi Ware, who were able to photograph the birds and get the word out to the birding community. We got good looks at the rufous crown, white eye line, and buffy breast of the birds. One person likened their markings of their heads to those of Chipping Sparrows.
