Another Ogden Common Sandpiper report
To coincide with Bradshaw Johns report from last week of a Common Sandpiper at Ogden a customer at the garage today reported a small wader at Ogden yesterday bobbin at the side of the water and noisy when it flew. He then identified it as a Common Sand from a picture I showed him. Not a common bird at Ogden and very poor so far at Fly Flatts possibly due to the high water level.
