Quick post: I walked the Liberty Loop at the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge tonight and had a good collection of shorebirds, including the highlight of the night – a single WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER. Other shorebirds included:

Semipalmated Plover (7)
Killdeer (6)
Greater Yellowlegs (2)
Solitary Sandpiper (1)
Spotted Sandpiper (3)
Least Sandpiper (15)

Most birds were close by, so here’s are my photos from the day:

  3. Great find on the White-rump! Semipalmated Plover are one of my favorites and great shots!

    1. Thanks John! The cuteness factor of the Semipalmated Plover is through the roof!
