I stopped off at Pickering Creek this morning to look for the Pectoral Sandpiper reported by Les Roslund. I couldn't see it but I did find a drake Common Teal with the Green-wingeds visible on the old impoundment from the blind on Audubon Road.  I guess it's probably the same bird that was here last March. Also present were 3 distant yellowlegs, a killdeer, several tree swallows, and, in the trees along Presquile Road a flock of 20 Yellow-rumped Warblers (all females, unless males moult incredibly quickly in early April) and a singing Pine Warbler.
