This morning I went back to Skinners Lane; nearly all the shorebirds I had yesterday continued. Linda Scrima reported that the three Black-bellied Plovers, which I forgot to mention in yesterday&#8217;s post, also continued. I headed back to the west side of the Liberty Loop, convinced there had to be something good there. Maria Loukeris had the same idea and joined me out there, unfortunately we were both disappointed. But! When I got back to my car and was starting to head home, John Haas had put out a notification on the Mearn&#8217;s Bird Club app that he had a WILSON&#8217;S PHALAROPE at Morningside Park! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH.jpg 1258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~What a gorgeous little shorebird &#8211; WILSON&#8217;S PHALAROPE at Morningside Park, 05\/31\/21.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I hustled out to the park, and the bird hung in there. I joined John and several other birders as we enjoyed some of my best views ever of this species. What a treat it was and a great way to end a killer shorebird weekend. Huge thanks to John for locating the bird and for putting the word out. You can see his blog post about it <a href=\"https:\/\/bashakillbirder.wordpress.com\/#!\/cover\">here<\/a>. If he hasn&#8217;t posted about it yet, I&#8217;m sure he will this afternoon or evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/053121-WIPH2.jpg 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~Wilson&#8217;s Phalarope giving me a nice profile.
