All, In my experience, the number of Buff-breasted Sandpipers seen over the last few weeks in Colorado is really exceptional. Yesterday, there were 6 at Jumbo Res (highest number at one location I've ever heard of), one at Timnath Res and one at Lagerman Res. On Sunday, 2 were reported from Prewitt Res. Earlier at the end of August, there were birds seen at Jackson Res and in the southeast in Baca County. Altogether, I think there have been up to 20 seen in the state, whereas I think the usual number is in the 3-5 range. Most of the photos I've looked at are of juveniles, so it looks to have been a productive breeding season for this species.
