I found a PDF that describes migration routes of Western Sandpipers – you may find it interesting. Some of the birds do use paths a little inland. It is the second link added to the “Links” list at the end of the post.

That is interesting. I’ll ask around and see if it is typical.

I was up in the Cuyama valley near the Dick Smith Wilderness Area a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to see sandpipers in the creekbed. I had no idea they went so far inland.

They migrate at night and if you look at the radar in the morning you will see them landing like the clips in the link! Thanks for linking to my site! I just love all your photos, they are stunning!
