Am. Avocet in the Lagoon in Harrison this morning with 3 species of Sandpipers! Lifer;D Got Photos will download later...
The birds have been picking up the last couple of days, and I thought I spotted a Solitary Sandpiper yesterday with a couple of Spotted Sandpipers. Went out this morning trying to relocate and SURPRISE! Spotted something big and white from a mile away! I flushed two sandpipers while taking photos of the Avocet. 1 Spotted and 1 substantially bigger. Also a group of 5 small sandpipers, will have to check the guide at home, but I think they are Westerns...
