Pectoral Sandpipers in Denville, 9-3-2011

To add to Tim Vogel’s earlier post, the fields at McCarter Park in Denville (the name given on Google Maps, “St Clare’s Hospital flooded fields” in Tim’s earlier post, Google coordinates – 40.89266,-74.47068) 2 Pectoral Sandpipers flew in to join the shorebird group at noon while I was there. The Semipalmated Plover count was augmented to 3. The birds can be difficult to view as they creep and crawl in the grass.

Here are the updated totals:
15 Killdeer
3 Semipalmated Plover
3 Lesser Yellowlegs
35 Semipalmated Sandpipers
7 Least Sandpipers
2 Pectoral Sandpipers
85 Mallards
30 Ring-billed Gulls
