Herrick Fen is currently (yesterday) hosting a wide variety of shorebirds as well as others.

Numbers of shorebirds are small, yet variety is nice (this is the first fall I've birded there).

Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs

Least, semipalmated, solitary, pectoral, and spotted sandpipers

Sanderlings

Semipalmated plovers (a bunch of them)

As well as some unidentified others.

(Anyone who knows me will have zero difficulty believing that this year alone I have two pairs of bins sitting here to send back to the manufacturer for repairs, ---thus the lack of id on some birds  --- and as such this report comes from once again binless me.)

Also:

Large numbers of both rose breasted grosbeaks as well as eastern kingbirds.

Many green herons remain - some of which were tormenting adult and young wood ducks. Anyone know what's up with that?
