Seward, Alaska
The two SHARP-TAILED SANDPIPER juveniles were last reported on November 2; I only found one on November 3 and 4. After a big rainstorm and strong winds, Tasha refound one on November 9. I believe that is the last report of this handsome Asian sandpiper in Seward.
Since I first found one on October 21, and then two on October 24, they fed steadily at the tidelands, visibly gaining weight. It was such a pleasure to watch them probe through the intertidal puddles and beach wrack, going about their very serious business of fattening up for the next leg of their journey.
Farewell!
Happy Birding!
