Baird's Sandpiper

I recall that I saw this little guy in Cape May, New Jersey. A few of us went down one autumn to see hawks and warblers. The town sits at the point of a funnel; birds of all kinds gather there as they psyche themselves up for the jump over Delaware Bay.

I would have never noticed species as shorebirds was never my thing, but some power birders in attendance (the hawk watch there is a thing) identified it as being at least somewhat rare for the area.

From when I was an active birder thirty years ago. One image by Richard Koenig; taken most likely in 1991 or 1992.

Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens) Recreating a memory of snow geese I saw near the Delaware Bay. Not pictured are the thousands and thousands of other noisy geese in the flock and the thousands and thousands of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans that have relocated to Delaware. . . . . #snowgoose #lowerslowerdelaware #delawarebay #migration #statepark #birdwatching #birds #birdsofinstagram #needlefelting #ooak #sculpture #wool #craft #felt #artistsoninstagram #mahteeka #joeandsarahart (at Cape Henlopen State Park)
