Hello SB birders, Today I had a spring Baird's Sandpiper at Wall beach, Vandenberg SFB. Unfortunately it is not accessible even with a base pass. There's lots of potential habitat at the Santa Ynez River via Ocean Park so maybe it will end up there. It was solo on the beach and loosely associating with Snowy Plovers. Despite leaving my camera at home I was in able to get a few digibin shots. This may be the first photographed spring Baird's in SB, at least from what I see on eBird.
