[Tweeters] Fwd: Montlake Fill Sharp-tailed Sandpiper

[Doug Santoni]

To clarify….the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper and the 2 associating Pectoral Sandpipers took flight at about 10:45 a.m. today (Sunday, 9/25) from near the Yesler Swamp boardwalk viewing platform, and headed west (out of sight, behind trees).  Hopefully, they’re still in the general vicinity and somewhere at the Montlake Fill.

> I arrived at the Yesler boardwalk viewing platform at Montlake Fill and there were about 15 birders already present and looking at the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper.  I got to watch the Sharp-tailed for a few minutes before it, and the two Pectoral Sandpipers with which it was associating, all flew away and out of sight beyond the trees. They were heading west, and perhaps they may be findable in appropriate  habitat further west at the Montlake Fill.
