Phil Chaon and I had a Baird's Sandpiper today from the boardwalk.

While there I ran into Paul Gardner, Jeff Grabmeir, Bob McNulty, Marcie Howden and several other birders. Activity was constant and moderate in all areas. The best is yet to arrive. The listing that follows is a composite of my sightings and those of the others I spoke to. The areas include Wiese Road, Area M off the boardwalk, the east shore from the Eastshore Yacht Club north to Area N, and Oxbow Road. Birds of interest: Double-crested Cormorant Great Egret Green Heron Little Blue Heron (seen at both Wiese Road and the boardwalk) Osprey Semipalmated Plover Killdeer Greater Yellowlegs Lesser Yellowlegs Solitary Sandpiper Spotted Sandpiper Semipalmated Sandpiper Western Sandpiper Least Sandpiper Pectoral Sandpiper Stilt Sandpiper Short-billed Dowitcher Caspian Tern Yellow-billed Cuckoo The Willet wasn't located this morning, although it may still be around.
