#289
While chasing the Pacific Golden-Plover yesterday I was basically in shorebird heaven. There were SO MANY SHOREBIRDS roaming the thick accumulation of wrack on Goleta West Beach. One bird that intrigued me was in a large group of Sanderlings; it was just a tad bigger than they were, with a sharp demarcation between the streaked breast and the white belly. I took a bunch of (crappy) photos through my spotting scope and compared them to references when I got home.
I wish I’d been close enough to see the yellow legs, but even without that I think it’s clear enough to make the call. Pectoral Sandpiper it is. 🙂👍

Libby found a Pacific Golden-Plover on Goleta Beach out near UCSB yesterday hanging around with all the Black-bellied Plovers. Jasen and Nick were still seeing it late in the day, so I set the alarm for 4:30 and was there before sunrise this morning.
No luck. :-(
I met Brad looking for the same bird, but he didn’t see it either. So I headed home to go to work. The great thing about crack-of-dawn birding is you can see lots of great birds and still be at work by 9.
Forty-five minutes later Marge and Don posted to eBird with photos of the bird, taken right where I’d been, just after I left. Argh!
So later in the day I made another trip, and this time I found the bird; yay! When I got there I saw Brad in the distance, so I know he went back, too. He carries a camera with a ginormous lens when he’s chasing rarities, so I was hoping he saw the bird and got photos better than the blurry ones I digiscoped from a distance. And he did! Check it out.
What a gorgeous bird.

Wednesday, August 29th, 2018We’ve wrapped production on our newest major project, American Whoopee. We are so excited to bring you this very silly 1920′s silent film spoof and so thankful to all of you who donated to help make it happen. After two wonderful days at the YouTube Space last week, we’ve already seen a rough cut and we are so thrilled with how the project is shaping up. Here are some photos from set taken by our fantastic set photographer and friend, Christopher Higgins. Stay tuned for many more to come! And see you at Buffer Festival!
Definitely looking forward to seeing Julia Cho (along with everyone else)!
