My Visit to Walden Ponds - Shorebirds and a Snowy


One of the highlights of yesterday's hike was a few minutes spent at a small pond just before sunset. It was the place to be if you were a shorebird. With my usual disclaimer, (I may be way off on shorebird IDs), enjoy and feel free to correct me where appropriate.

The Solitary Sandpiper, above, was one of a group of three - not feeling so solitary, apparently.


While the Wilson's Snipe was foraging all by itself.


Of course Killdeer were everywhere, and the Snowy Egret below was in the same pond, and just looking too good not to include here.



Good birding all!
