and phalaropes as well. The trip is scheduled to leave Sat, Sep 21 at 8:00

In addition to the continuing avocet I just saw a buff-breasted sandpiper
in the shrubby area at the western end of the inlet. It was spooked after a
few minutes by 2 young peregrines and flew east down the beach and out of
sight but has returned so it may stick around.

I just had a rather handsome adult CT Warbler at the NE edge of the Vale of
Cashmere in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Rather early for the species I believe?

covered in pokeweed where the bamboo used to grow.
