There are six species of shorebirds at Schoolhouse Pond feeding on the 
mudflats.  This included 5 Greater Yellowlegs, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, 9 Solitary 
Sandpipers, 9 Least Sandpipers, and 1 Killdeer.  The Solitary Sandpipers were 
especially vocal, occasionally flying out and over the marshy vegetation.  
There easily could have been more shorebirds in the grass/vegetation along 
the mudflats adjacent to the pond.  Other birds today included 2 Yellow 
Warblers, 2 Northern Waterthrush, 3 Osprey and 1 immature Bald Eagle.
