This late afternoon I took a run to this coastal park with my friend Bart to discuss habitat improvement ideas with another horticulturist. While we were discussing walking thru,I noted a SPOTTED SANDPIPER flying across to the salt water grass rich Marsh. Then I spotted some small shorebirds on the impoundment rock bridge.
Getting over to where the setting sun light was best behind m y back makes the difference. 6 peeps on the edge of the rock bridge in their bright color turned out to be LEAST SANDPIPERS.
It would be interesting to see what the Marsh brings and the heavy cottonwood presence bring as well in September as the park heads for its one year birthday in November
