Hi all,
It was of interest to see Paul Lehman’s post on two Solitary Sandpipers
that he and Sally Veach observed at Whelan Lake on Monday, Feb 10. On
February 9th Bob Packard reported two Solitary Sandpipers at Salt Creek, in
Riverside County near Menifee. The SBVAS Field trip was at the nearby San
Jacinto Wildlife Area and so a number of individuals were able to arrive at
Salt Creek to see the birds. To my knowledge this is the first record of
February Solitary Sandpiper in the region, much less two individuals.(
