[cobirds] jackson lake buff-bellied sandpiper

Just after noon today, a buff-bellied sandpiper was foraging among killdeer on the north shore of Jackson Lake. It was just south of the eastmost SWA parking lot, 5 or 10 yards up from the water's edge. There are two sticks sticking up on the shore at that spot. After numerous attempts, I was resigned to being one of the few visitors to Jackson Lake not to spot a buff-bellied sandpiper, when just as I was returning to the parking lot, this bird appeared, very cooperatively allowing extensive close views.
