[cobirds] Curlew Sandpiper (Kiowa County)

Folks, Cole Wild asked me to post this. On Thursday, while leading a Grouse tour for a group of visiting birders, they discovered a first-spring female Curlew Sandpiper at Neenoshe Reservoir in Kiowa County. Attempts to refind it today were unsuccessful. The finder was Susan Scott. The bird was identified by Ed Harper and Cole, based on a bird similar to non-breeding Dunlin with vertical dark streaks on lower flanks and all white rump in flight.

If anyone is birding at Neenoshe, please report back if you refind this North American mega rarity.
