Early yesterday morning, a Spotted Sandpiper worked the edges of a "vernal" like pond on the Long Meadow west lawn near the 10th Ave park entrance. The pond was caused by excessive rain in an already saturated ground. Mary Eyster reported the bird to me.
When I went home and passed the spot 340 pm, the Spotted Sandpiper was still there. Sounds like the fella has marked his "spot", cause it doesn't want to leave.
