Harrison was quite birdy today. I saw a Sandpiper that I couldn't definitely identify. Thanks to everyone who responded and verified it as a Least Sandpiper. Here are some of the birds I saw. A complete list is at the bottom.

I have had quite a few people say Least Sandpiper and they may be right. The bird looked too big to be a Least but I was mistaken.
