Had a good day birding, but missed Chris's two best birds. Best we could find was a pale basic-plumaged STILT SANDPIPER with about a dozen Short-billed Dowitchers along Towpath Road.
Kudos to the Montezuma crew for creating a number of openings in the vegetation that allow some close shorebird viewing off of Towpath. If you like Great Blue Herons (400+) or Bald Eagles (10+), or maybe Black Terns in various stages of black and white plumage, then East and Towpath roads are for you!
