1 April 2004 western Greene County I travelled to a few trustworthy spots in the Midway/Mohawk area of Greene County this morning in hopes of finding some interesting migrants or spring arrivals. I had no luck on the latter but did pretty well on the former, to wit: Least Sandpiper (2, Green Road); Vesper Sparrow (2, Jim Kirk Road). In checking my records this evening, I discovered that my previous early date for Least Sandpiper in Greene County was April 20, which is surprisingly late for such a regular and fairly common transient. Today's Vesper Sparrows were right in line with several other observations over the last few years, including six birds seen on April 1 in 2002.
