Within the last week, two more "good birds" have made appearances at Muddy Pond, at Sterling Peat. On Sept. 5th Bart Kamp (with Donna Schilling and Dave Grant, I believe) found 5 Stilt Sandpipers, which stayed for a few days. One lingered long enough for me to see upon my return from a hiking trip.
Showing a little leg and its slightly decurved bill.
and feeding.
Brad Blodget had found a Little Blue Heron about 3 weeks back, and it (I presume the same bird, but there is no way to be certain) resurfaced a few days ago. Word got out and I was fortunate see it and return to get a few digi-scope shots.
On the hunt...

Grammy,
Both those species are rare in central massachusetts , they are a more common along the Mass coast (if you know when and where to look). The heron was cooperative and I just got lucky on the "Batman" shot.
