* Baird's Sandpiper was found by Bob Stymeist on Saturday at Belle Isle Park.

** Large Calidris sandpiper was found by Jim Barton on Sunday at Belle Isle Park. Jim is reluctant to call it a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper (Alaska/Siberia bird), but is sure it was not a Pectoral either. Not seen by anyone else, unfortunately. More details as they become available.
