Hopefully, they’re still in the general vicinity and somewhere at the Montlake Fill.<div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Doug Santoni<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">From: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Doug Santoni <<a href="mailto:dougsantoni@gmail.com" class="">dougsantoni@gmail.com</a>><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">Montlake Fill Sharp-tailed Sandpiper</b><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">September 25, 2022 at 11:05:40 AM PDT<br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">To: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">tweeters <<a href="mailto:tweeters@u.washington.edu" class="">tweeters@u.washington.edu</a>><br class=""></span></div><br class=""><div class=""><div class="">I arrived at the Yesler boardwalk viewing platform at Montlake Fill and there were about 15 birders already present and looking at the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. I got to watch the Sharp-tailed for a few minutes before it, and the two Pectoral Sandpipers with which it was associating, all flew away and out of sight beyond the trees. They were heading west, and perhaps they may be findable in appropriate habitat further west at the Montlake Fill.<br class=""><br class="">Doug Santoni<br class="">Seattle <br class="">Ph 305-962-4226<br class=""><a href="mailto:DougSantoni@gmail.com" class="">DougSantoni@gmail.com</a></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
