August 28th, 2005. Longmeadow Sandbar, Longmeadow, MA.
| Buff-breasted Sandpipers (2) Tryngites subruficollis, juveniles.
| Two immaculate juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpipers
on our very first visit to the Longmeadow Sandbar. These highly
attractive shorebirds are uncommon anywhere in New England and eagerly
anticipated by birders at this time of year. By just standing quietly
on the sandbar, the birds simply walked towards us giving amazing
views. I don’t recall ever having better views of this charming
species in New England. Just wonderful!
