Sandy Point, West Haven, CT 17 May I stopped by after work and easily saw more than 10 spotted sandpipers. Perhaps that's not unusual, but in this one visit I'm sure I saw more than probably I've ever seen in total (I know, newbie talk). Beside those, I enjoyed watching least terns passing bait fish in some form of courting ritual I suppose. Other shorebirds included willets, a SB dowitcher, least and semipalmated sandpiper, oystercatchers, semipalmated, piping, and black-bellied plovers, sanderling, dunlin,. and lions and tigers, oh my!
