All,

A Ruddy Turnstone is currently at the Sandspit along with the Artic Tern and Sabines Gull. The turnstone was found by Michael Kiessig.

The RUDDY TURNSTONE was still present and feeding (yes, turning stones) on the tip of the sandspit as of noon.  All the birders seem to be doing a GREAT job of not disturbing this bird.  Everyone is staying on the "high ground" and not walking out onto the spit itself.  You can easily see this bird with bins and scopes and there is NO need to walk out and potentially spook the bird for other birders.
 
The "sandspit" is on the SE side of the reservoir just east of the marina.

Turnstone seen by a group about 1-130. I relocated an imm Sabine's gull that a few folks got to see. It kept moving around. 

At Massey draw beach, Jefferson co, I refound the red-necked grebe in with the big group of westerns.

Between 2-3 pm, no sign of Ruddy Turnstone on or around marina spit. Arctic Tern and Sabine's Gull still present.
