The Least of These

The 2 Least Sandpipers that I reported 2 weeks ago still remain at Bois D'Arc CA this afternoon, December 14. Forty + degree drop this evening will surely test their resolve.Also saw 2 Loggerhead Shrikes out by Fellows Lake. No luck so far in the search for Northern Shrike out in the Fellows Lake area this year.

"Surf"ing for the "Least" of These

Greetings from the Semipalmated Plover. Marvin gave me a CD of his Birds of Alaska. Yesterday I posted a few shorebirds, and got some great comments. So, I took a quick look at the CD again tonight. I found these three that I really like. Check out the detail in this beautiful Least Sandpiper! And here's the Surfbird that Marvin mentioned in his comment yesterday.
