Sunday before Labor Day I still had three hummingbirds hitting my two feeders. One was a Calliope, not sure about the other two. Monday I saw two of them chasing each other in the morning, but when the big storm blew in in the early afternoon they were gone. I figured that was the last of them, but Wednesday morning I saw a solitary bird guarding one of the feeders. I was around all day, but didn’t see him again, and now he’s gone too. I never get many, but the big push for me seems to be a bit later than I read from Brian Carrigan and others. Funny, because I’m north of Idaho Falls, about two miles south of Ucon.

This looks like a Pectoral Sandpiper to me. Note the lack of
contrast between cap and supercilium, lack of white eye ring,
fat/chunky body, long pale based bill, and heavily streaked center
of breast.

Re: Sharp-tailed Sandpiper at American Falls Silo area?
It certainly has the capped appearance Jason, and different from the other 2 birds. Think you may be right!
There were 2 at Indian Creek 8 years ago and I remember being struck by the brown cap at the time.
