Semipalmated Plover, Muscota Marsh, Inwood Hill Park
My next trip up to Inwood Hill brought more shorebirds. A Great Egret was on the mudflat of the bay, a couple of hours before low tide, with a flock of sandpipers.

The fishing was pretty good, it seems.

There were a couple of mixed flocks of sandpipers, Least and Semipalmated, in the bay and in Muscota Marsh nearby.

The big deal bird was a single Semipalmated Plover hanging with the sandpipers at the Muscota Marsh area.

The two Semipalmated species were life birds for me, and my 173rd and 174th species of the year in New York County.
