Went today to Homestead Farms to buy strawberries (which, by the way, are about at their prime). A rainpool along Sugarland Rd. near the entrance to the farm was full of shorebirds. 

Semipalmated Plover (2)
Greater Yellowlegs (1)
Lesser Yellowlegs (6)
Solitary Sandpiper (12)
Least Sandpiper (15)
Pectoral Sandpiper (1)

Heard nearby: Grasshopper Sparrow
