Fwd: [obol] No stint at FRR in afternoon

[Daniel Farrar]

Nor did I see the Stint between 4-6 PM.  There were 3 BAIRD'S SP together at
one point (one looked like an adult), one PECTORAL on my way out, and a
crisp juvenile SOLITARY SANDPIPER was a nice surprise.  There was also a LB
and SB DOWITCHER, which flew in together.
No other observers were present after Sylvia and I left.
