[birding] Single Solitary Sandpiper Stalks Sunset Silt

[Lisa Millbank]

At around 6:30-7PM tonight there was one SOLITARY SANDPIPER poking around in the mud at Sunset Park, visible from the boardwalk.  This was a nervous little bird who didn't like Don & me getting very close.  The most obvious feature were black central tail feathers surrounded by barred outer tail feathers when he flew, olive legs and a nice eye-ring.
It was great to have COMMON YELLOWTHROATS and BARN SWALLOWS around again.  WESTERN BLUEBIRDS are nesting in one of our boxes.
