Thanks to Josh from Massachusetts, who waved us over, we saw a Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Hills Beach today. I only got one picture before it flew away. We also are pretty sure we had a Whimbrel and 11 very cute and entertaining young Bonaparte's Gulls. They were all together on the water, and they would jump up in the air a short distance, and dive bomb back down. The picture of one doing this shows very orange legs. This makes me question what they were. The ear sport sure looks like the Bonaparte's to me. One of the Short-billed Dowitchers had a some missing feathers. It looked like you could see some bones? I put pictures of all these on my Flickr page.
