The American Avocet continues at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on the East Pond. In addition another highlight were a few Stilt Sandpipers. A full report with shorebird numbers will be posted to my blog later (I promise).
I know it is each individual's preference, but I just want remind folks that knee high boots are best for shorebirding on the East Pond. Sneakers may be comfortable, but there are a lot of soft under water spots and this is not the kind of mud and water you want to be sloshing around in.
