Mei Yee and I birded the north end of the East Pond this afternoon until around 6:30 p.m. There were not many shorebirds around but given high tide was still a few hours away when we left, it is hard to measure the "true" volume. Nevertheless, in that time frame the count was small. Shorebird

More shorebirds than yesterday but not by much. The increase was all about the Semipalmated Sandpipers. I estimated around 150. 1 STILT SANDPIPER was also of note. Other notable birds include 1 Green Heron, 1 Black-billed Cuckoo first heard calling across the pond on the west side near Gull

I also went to the East Pond today, and will add to Andrew's email only that on the way out, near the south side entrance, I came across a Western Sandpiper mixed in with a flock of Leasts and Semis. Thank you to Andrew for looking at my photo and helping me clinch the ID! Good Birding, Tripper
