[cobirds] Sanderling - Highline Lake SP - Mesa County


 
This morning I had a Sanderling at Mack Mesa Reservoir feeding along the shoreline with 13 American Avocets and 2 Willet's.  There was also a flock of 20 Eared Grebes in the middle of Mack Mesa Reservoir, which is located in Highline Lake SP.

I believe the Sanderling to be an adult female.  The only rufous I could see was a hint along the primaries near the tail - everything else was black, gray and pure white.
