[cobirds] Sandpipers at Teller Lake No. 5, Boulder County, 13 Sept.

Hello, Birders.


Hannah and Andrew and I visited Teller Lake No. 5 ("North Teller Lake"), Boulder County, earlier this evening, Thursday, Sept. 13th, and saw many sandpipers. It's not quite Jackson or Prewitt out there, but, hey, it's decent by Boulder County standards. We saw these sandpipers:


1 Pectoral Sandpiper

1 Stilt Sandpiper

1 continuing short-billed Short-billed Dowitcher

1 Western Sandpiper

5 Semipalmated Sandpipers

1 Least Sandpiper

3 Baird's Sandpipers

17 Lesser Yellowlegs

3 Solitary Sandpipers

2 Wilson's Snipes


Beautiful light, close-up viewing, what more could you want? Sure beats the 2-miles-away shorebirds at Panama Rez... If you go, please remember that people aren't allowed on the far (south) shore.


And if you go out there, watch the "quicksand," and check out Hannah's and Andrew's safety markers...
