1966.
26 June.
Calidris ferruginea
At, the junction of the road to the gas well and the Village
Ridge in the Cake Rater Area I noticed a bird feeding company
of a Baird Sandpiper. The bird was darker on the back
than a Baird and had a dark brick red chest and neck.
It could be nothing else but a Curlew Sandpiper, which
identification was confirmed by Steve and Tom, who happened
to come by in the weasel. The bird was very actively
feeding and then flew S for some 400 m where we lost it
out of sight in the fog.
