This morning I spent a couple hours at the arboretum turning up some migrants and went out to the New Germany area for shorebirds. I did not go to 158th St, so I missed on the Buff-breasted Sandpiper, but it's good to know that they are here. The biggest surprise of the day was a Dunlin.

Today I went looking for the chat that had been reported.  I spent a couple of hours near the Bergson Pool sign at 8am and again at 11am.  I heard a few distant sounds which could have been a chat but nothing verifiable materialized.  There was a yellow-billed cuckoo and a blue jay in the area
