Nice visit to Paper Mill Flats this morning:
 
22 Great Egrets
16 Semi-palmated Plovers
c. 20 Killdeer
2 Greater Yellowlegs
9 Lesser Yellowlegs
3 Solitary Sandpipers
1 WESTERN SANDPIPER
c. 180 Semi-palmated Sandpipers*
25 Least Sandpipers
2 Red-shouldered Hawks
1 Belted Kingfisher
 
The Western Sandpiper was a very clean looking juvenile - at the southwest end
of the water.
* by subtraction - 206 peeps counted, but some were distant.
