[Tweeters] Black-necked Stilts near Lynden, WA

[Stephen]

Just to clarify:
I found the stilts and phalaropes at the spot Wayne referenced, but they were flushed by an eagle. Levi Grudzinski refound them on Nooksack Road just south of Clearbrook Road towards Sumas. There were at least 10 Wilson’s Phalaropes plus a Pectoral Sandpiper with them. I’m not sure if they were still there today.
