Karen Strong and I observed a party of 5 *Western Sandpipers* at the Marina Sandspit at Chatfield SP, Douglas, this morning, with 2 *Least*, a *Wilson's Phalarope* and a number of *Spotted Sandpipers*..The Westerns were along the east side of the spit. Quite handsome.
Also of interest was a striking leucistic *Red-shafted Northern Flicker*. Its body was pale creamy white, the head a bit more buff tan, and all the usual salmon-orange feathers on the wings and tail were pale washed out orange. It was around the Platte River Parking Lot, just east of Kingfisher Bridge.
