Sandpipers Find The Lake Construction Mud Flat

The Park’s Department has dammed a section of The Lake, to allow for construction in the North Lobe.  In doing so, they’ve created a large mud flat that Sandpipers are enjoying.  The fall migrations starts first for shorebirds, so we’re seeing Sandpipers now.  On Sunday, Ben Cacace saw four Sandpiper species, Solitary, Spotted, Semipalmated and Least.

I photographed three species on Sunday, Solitary, Spotted and Least.
