Greetings All:
That would fit in nicely with the thirteen Upland Sandpipers that Sheri
Anderson and I heard and saw (flying over) while walking around Lake Six today.

I brightened up the photo. These really look like shorebirds to me - my guess
would be upland sandpipers.

My wife and I went to Clapp Park last night to try and relocate the American
Redstart and the Willow Flycatcher. We found the American Restart again in the
NE corner of the Arboretum. Later Anthony and Sheri located it in the same
area and eventually it flew to the stone benches. There was also a possible
Nashville Warbler that seemed to be hanging out with it. A couple of Yellow
Warblers were also in the same area – near the stone benches.
The other interesting birds we saw are in the attached picture. The lighting
was bad and they were flying over going south. There was a group of 9 or 10
flying together and they appear to be some type of gull. Any ideas?
Thanks,
