The juvenile Western Sandpiper that Pat Moynahan found yesterday at Timber Point beach (located at the end of Granite Point Rd near Biddeford Pool) was present this morning when I was there ~ 8:30-9:10. The bird was with a flock of a couple hundred Semi-sands interspersed with Least, White-Rumped, Semi-plovers, and Sanderlings. Look for the bird with the long drooping, fine-tipped bill and very bright rusty stains on the scapulars. Also the Semi-sands tend to be an aggressive species, the Western often appears to shy away from confrontations, just seems to lift it's wings when agitated.
Bird haahd,
