The Red-throated Loon spotted by Peder Svingen yesterday was still at Lafayette Square this afternoon. Also at Lafayette Square (31st St. at Park Point) were 4 Baird's Sandpipers. At the ball field at Park Point the two Whimbrels (spotted by Peder) were still foraging for insects on the ball field this afternoon. At 40th Ave West mudflats were a good variety of shorebirds. -Least Sandpipers -Semipalmated Sandpipers -Stilt Sandpiper -Lesser Yellowlegs Other: -Common Terns -Bonaparte's Gulls -Pied billed Grebes * I took pictures of a peep which could be a candidate for a Western Sandpiper. I added this last because I just got home and haven't looked at the photos closely but it sure looked good in the field. Hopefully other locla birders may find it today or tomorrow.
