A Baird's Sandpiper was seen at the south end of Manchester Beach. David Presotto got this wonderful photo.

These sandpipers have long, tapered wings which help with their very long migration. They fly from the tip of South America all the way up to the Arctic to nest. And, once in a while, one of these beautiful birds will be found along the Mendonoma coast.

Thanks to David for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

The fog is gone and it's warming up, just in time for the holiday weekend! Bonus sighting: Humpbacks were seen  few days ago.
