[Tweeters] Hayton Reserve Sharp-tailed Sandpiper

[Carol Riddell]

The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper was at rest on the near shore logs when I arrived at 1:15 pm, among many Dunlins and Long-billed Dowitchers. A Merlin swept through shortly before 2 pm, scattering the shorebirds and plucking its meal. They have not returned.
