Title: Return to the Beach
Post by: Shortsighted on September 09, 2024, 03:41:19 PM
One more try for the Buff-breasted sandpiper this morning, but left late.  Once again, I didn't find it.  No one else that I ran into had seen it either.  The juvenile Black-bellied plover was still present, even at the same spot, which is too far away.  Eventually it relocated a little closer but still too far away for my rig.  Didn't see any Sanderlings, nor the Semipalmated plover, but I did come across a Semipalmated sandpiper.  The shorebirds may have been spooked by a Peregrine falcon and a Northern harrier that was patrolling the beach.  Very few warblers were present, or at least seen.  Every time I spotted one it was a juvenile Yellow-rumped (Myrtle).  It sprinkled for 5 minutes now and then but I had a mini umbrella in my backpack and this time I wore rubber boots.

Black-bellied plover at closer site.  You can see that its laughing at me.  A black-bellied laugh.
