<https://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=0n8995km047b9#> On Monday I took a trip to K-M Marsh viewing from Towpath rd. I didn't find anything different than what others found on the weekend. Shorebird numbers seem down now. I did not see the HUDSIONIAN GODWITS this time. There were a bunch of dowitchers sp. distant. I also re-found the lone STILT SANDPIPER that others had. This bird was fairly "close" for Towpath Rd and easily identified. I also had at least 3 BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS also fairly "close" among a bunch of PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. There were also many SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS and fewer LEAST SANDPIPERS. I found no white-rumped sandpipers although there were many distant peeps that I couldn't ID. There was still one lone SANDERLING. Both species of yellowlegs continue. Except for many SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS and at least 1 KILLDEER, there were no BLACK-BELLIED or AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVERS.
There were also many swallows, including a few CLIFF SWALLOWS, many TREE and BARN SWALLOWS, and fewer BANK SWALLOWS than a few weeks ago. I didn't see any PURPLE MARTINs. I also found one AMERICAN PIPIT on the mudflats. At the MAC, there were many many SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS most of which were juveniles. I also had many SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS, few LEAST SANDPIPERS, and 1 lone WILSON'S SNIPE. There were also several GREAT EGRETs, one lone GREEN HERON. There was also many GREEN-WINGED TEALS and a couple BLUE-WINGED TEALS.
