Belmar Park this morning

[Patrick DePriest]

Peaceful morning for birding.  

Some cool sightings for me included:

- 2 American Avocets

- A pair of Wood Ducks (on the back pond)

- I'm not great with sandpiper ID but this one was medium small, spotted, shot-legged and had an orange beak with a black tip (because of the beak, my best guess out of Sibley's was a Pectoral) 

- A couple Swainson's hawks being chased around by smaller birds

- Western Kingbird

Had some warblers and flycatchers mixed in.  The male wood duck was so beautiful and I think a first for me.
