A Buff-breasted Sandpiper was found at Windermere Basin yesterday (August 14) afternoon by Jon Pleizier and continues this morning (August 15).
Most of Windermere Basin is closed to public access but public vantage points are accessed from the parking lot/trail off of Eastport Drive ( https://goo.gl/maps/Sv2feiywKLxPL5PL8). A spotting scope would be highly beneficial.
