Pectoral Sandpipers, Timnath Reservoir

[marimammoser]

This morning there were four Pectoral Sandpipers at Timnath Reservoir. They were spread out in the wet areas and standing water on the north side (away from the lake shore). There were also about 5-6 smaller peeps seen flying with a group of Killdeer. The very small size suggests possibly Least Sandpipers, but they didn't land so I couldn't get a definitive ID.

On the reservoir itself were the usual groups of white-checked geese, Am. White pelicans, Western Grebes, a few gulls and ducks.
