Subject: Juv. Sharp-tailed Sandpiper Sept. 5, 1999, South
Beach, MA
From: Jim Barton <redwingatfp1986(AT)COMCAST.NET>

Hello. I studied a stunning juvenile Sharp-tailed Sandpiper roosting
among Black-bellied Plovers and Semi Plovers on a northerly flat at South
Beach, Chatham, MA for about 10 minutes on September 5, 2009. All the
birds flew south, so I saw the bird in flight as well.
Continuing south myself, I encountered a birding group moving north. I
described the bird and asked whether they might have seen the STSP. The
leader responded that, oh, yes, they seen a shorebird that someone had died
yellow. She seemed very sure of herself. I didn't think it worthwhile to
continue the conversation.
I alerted the usual suspects and returned the next day, but was unable
to rediscover the bird.
Yours,
Jim Barton Jim Barton
