I looked for it in the evening but didn't find it. This morning Larry Jeanblanc and I returned to the area and found it this time. We just got the briefest of glimpses of the bird but we listened to it sing for several minutes. We found it at about 8:45 this morning.

Spent a couple of hours at Englewood Main Metropark today. Saw a lot of
old friends including the 2 immature bald eagles that put on a very nice
aerial display for a number of us old-timers and some new-timers.
The mudflats are starting to appear across the pond (scope necessary). A
lot of killdeer appeared overnight--100+ or more. Had one spotted
sandpiper--likely a local nester, and one peep--probably a semi-palmated sandpiper.
It was very small next to a killdeer, relatively larger bill, dark legs,
and stayed in the water. Cape May Bird Observatory (CMBO) people consider
this a very positive sign that it was not a least sandpiper. Least
sandpipers don't like to get their feet wet as a rule. Maybe these sandpipers
were a sign of good things coming.
Also had three calling belted kingfishers fly by.
And most of the "regular stuff"
