Semipalmated Sandpiper @ Annis Road

[tysondanny]

Hi all,

On the morning of May 14 2013 at the pond along Hwy 1 @ Annis Road were 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper, 14 Western Sandpipers and 5 Dunlin. Also lots of Barn Swallows and 2 Northern Rough-winged Swallows. Nearby at Chilliwack Central and Upper Prairie were 7 Western Sandpipers, 5 Least Sandpipers and 1 Spotted Sandpiper.

Good Birding,

Danny, nice you got out. So that was probably you I saw this morning as I drove by on the highway. I was pleased to see someone checking out the pond. I should have honked a "hello"! ;D

Excellent Semi Sandpiper. That's the first one we've had reported on the spring migration for around here. (more info at the link)
