The Dunlin on AIC

[gbarlow at Aros dot Net]

Went AIC somewhat early this morning and finally located the Dunlin, just west 
of mile marker 2 on the north side of the causeway.  I had a good look at it 
for abour 30 minutes.  Then Steve Abbott from No. Ogden arrived and we looked 
at it together for a brief period.  It was in a mixed flock of Sanderlings and 
Western Sandpipers.  All of suddent the flock took off.  Adios!  We looked for 
it again, to no avail.

Also saw the following with Robert Bowling from Denver:
Spotted Sandpiper (1)
Sanderling
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Western Sandpiper
Franklin's Gull

Later, with Steve Abbott saw a pair of Wilson's Phalarope on the causeway. 
There were also several at the Marina.

Also saw the following at the Marina:
Killdeer
Black-necked Stilt
American Avocet
Willet
Loggerhead Shrike
Red-winged Blackbirds
Brown-headed Cowbird

All in all a nice day.  Especially with the Dunlin!  A life bird for me and 
Steve.  But, unfortunately we were not able to locate it again!
