Subject: [sbcobirding] Spring Baird's Sandpiper
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.
