Yesterday was quite a day in our area for shorebirds, with many excellent birds reported. In the black dirt, the best new species included Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Baird’s Sandpiper, and American Golden-Plover. In Sullivan County, John Haas had a WHIMBREL at Morningside Park – read about it here<\/a>. Unfortunately, I was working most of the day, and then unable to get out after work as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hit the black dirt early this morning and I was able to locate (2) Buff-breasted Sandpipers; definitely the bird of the day for me. The Baird’s Sandpiper was reported, but I was unable to catch up with it. I enjoyed a very close up encounter with a pair of Semipalmated Plovers; what a cute and excellent bird to see up close. The Camel Farm pond is overrun with vegetation, which has made birding that location even more frustrating than it usually is. Today I heard and caught glimpses of loads of Lesser Yellowlegs there; goodness knows what kind of species are hidden from view there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

~Excellent Bird. Too bad this pair of Buff-breasted Sandpipers were too far out for decent photos, but they looked amazing in the scope. Black dirt 08\/26\/23.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
