Today there were 2 Black Terns alternately loafing and feeding at Paper
Mill Flats.
Also:
Killdeer - many
Both Yellowlegs (~40, though more Lessers than Greaters)
Solitary Sandpiper 4
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Semipalmated Sandpiper - many
Least Sandpiper - many
Pectoral Sandpiper 3
Stilt Sandpiper 2
Short-billed Dowitcher 1
Wilsons Snipe 1
It's facinating to watch the monster Snapping Turtles in the shallow
water at the center of the flats - catching fish and warding each other
away when they get too close
