[obol] Banner year for Buff-breasted Sandpipers

[DAVID IRONS]

Greetings,

After reading Tim Rodenkirk's post about yesterday's flock of 15 
Buff-breasted Sandpipers at the North Spit of Coos Bay (NSCB), I did a quick 
tally of all the sightings this fall.  At the bare minimum there have been 
27 BBSA reported statewide thus far.  This tally presumes no turnover in the 
birds at the NSCB.  Perhaps Tim can offer some insights on whether he thinks 
the original six stuck around and were joined by others, or if there has 
been some turnover.  At Fern Ridge I had one bird and then it was several 
days before one, two, and ultimately three birds were seen together.   There 
may have been a total of four there over the last two weeks, but I only 
counted three for the purposes of this summary.
