Rita Carratello and I found a White-rumped Sandpiper on the sandy beach on Asilomar SB, Pacific Grove, today. Many locals were able to see it late in the afternoon. It was at the little outlet creek of the Majella Slough, which forms a little puddle on the sandy beach, just south of Sunset Drive, P.G. This is essentially across the Sunset from Asilomar Conference Center, and was also at the little outlet creek and “puddle” (it was not on the rocky shore of the rest of Asilomar SB). It was rather tame but being harassed by an aggressive Killdeer, and flew off and returned several times. The beach is heavily used by dog-walkers, locals, and tourists, but it was the only sandpiper there.
