My partner and I witnessed a peep at Myers Point this afternoon which we had difficulty ID'ing, and I wonder if anyone would be willing to help us with this. I've posted a video here:
https://youtu.be/9cJehvqgjic The peep was foraging on the large mud/gravel bar in Salmon Creek, not far where some of the trailers are parked. I considered deleting the audio. But I ultimately decided to leave it, for your potential amusement (or horror). It features a...er, shall we say "distinctive"...cover of "Good Lovin'", sung in several different keys and performed live for a group of picnickers, in combination with an endless loop of "Turkey in the Straw" as played by an ice cream truck making the rounds in the park. (And it was a VERY warm day, so I think their sales were robust.) We had to listen to that stimulating melange for 15 or 20 minutes. But we DID get to see a Spotted Sandpiper (easy peasy!) and an Orchard Oriole, along with this mystery peep. So it was, arguably, worth it. TIA for any assistance with this!
