While standing near a Lapland long sparrow nest, a R.B.Sand piper was observed feeding and giving calls. as we approached, she(?) gave a distraction display, indicating she had a nest close by. We walked back slowly and watched her move forward here nest. After settling in several site, she settled low down which indicated the location of her nest. Then we re-advanced and located the nest w/4 eggs. The eggs were very large and dark colored on the large end. We left after marking the nest. 11 July T.Custer, Dr. Pitelko and I we setting traps at line 1 & 2. A R.B.
