Black Tern and Solitary Sandpipers continue

Forgot to thank Paul Lehman for the directions to the Solitary Sandpipers!  Without his help we would not have found them.

A Black Tern flew over the main pond at Dairy Mart all morning.  Four, possibly five Solitary Sandpipers continued in the pond along Camino De La Plaza heading east from the main parking at Dairy Mart.  If you walk in the bike lane east you will eventually see a trail on your left at a light post.  The trail goes up over a berm and down to the pond.  The light post has a sign on the other side of it that says "Turn Only" for the cars headed west.  The Solitary Sandpipers can bee seen once you get to the bottom of the trail and were on the far side of the pond to our left approximately here: 32.554634, -117.061472 on rocks and branches.  No sign of anything much at B&B later except a nice small flock of about 7 Common Ground Doves.
