Am Golden Plover & Williamson’s Sapsucker Hope Airprt Aug 25

[Gord]

Not two birds I’d expect to see at the same location. The plover was out on the runway west end but I think it kept going when it flew. The sapsucker went into the big conifers north of the airport west of Bristol Rd. An easy 8 Vesper Sparrows, first Lincoln’s Sparrow of the fall and Western Kingbird other neat things. Smoke isn’t great but it’s been worse

Photo of the American Golden Plover. Unfortunately, no photos of the sapsucker but had I seen him coming a few seconds sooner I might have had a chance.
