At 1328 Anthony Ciancamino and I found an Upland Sandpiper and a Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Miller Field in Staten Island.
We were alerted to the presence of the Upland Sandpiper by its flight call while we were scanning feeding shorebirds. Twenty minutes later (and after hearing it call multiple times) we were able to locate the Upland Sandpiper in the grass next to the airplane hangar. The buff-breasted sandpiper was in the same area, feeding along the large puddle in front of the hangar.
