Just so people are aware, now that the tide is going out, the juvenile Siberian Sand-Plover (it does appear to be that age and species) was refound right around the peak of the high tide inside the Saltworks. Mildly better digiscopes were obtained before a raptor flushed it even more quickly than yesterday. There are a minimum of four Peregrines wreaking fear and havoc inside Salt today.
