Hecksher SP 12 Sep Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, and I (Sy Schiff) went directly to Field 7 where the rains have left a large puddle on the parking lot and several more in the surrounding grassy areas. Shorebirds moved around in groups flying away and coming back while moving from puddle to puddle. NO PHALAROPE today, but the estimated 40 shorebirds contained an interesting mix including BUFF-BREASTED, PECTORAL, WHITE-RUMPED, SEMIPALMATED and LEAST SANDPIPERS along with both YELLOWLEGS while KILLDEER flew over calling..
