Pectoral Sandpiper in Catawba Co.



We went to Southside park in Newton this afternoon to look for Common
Snipe(this is the most reliable and easiest place in Catawba County to find
Snipe).  We found 15 Snipe and had a surprise when a Pectoral Sandpiper
popped up out of the grass.  We had good long views of the bird.  This is
the first spring record we have of Pectorals in Catawba County and it seems
a tad early.
