Baird's Sandpiper

I recall that I saw this little guy in Cape May, New Jersey. A few of us went down one autumn to see hawks and warblers. The town sits at the point of a funnel; birds of all kinds gather there as they psyche themselves up for the jump over Delaware Bay.

I would have never noticed species as shorebirds was never my thing, but some power birders in attendance (the hawk watch there is a thing) identified it as being at least somewhat rare for the area.

From when I was an active birder thirty years ago. One image by Richard Koenig; taken most likely in 1991 or 1992.

"A Loss In The Delaware River" Eighty Years Ago, Yesterday - (Tuesday) February 23rd, 1943: Folks, I'm sorry but there just wasn't enough room to fit this one in last night, so we're playing catch-up today. Not all of our losses were overseas - we lost plenty of men, women and material right here at home. The US Navy loses another YP (District Patrol Vessel) not out at sea or to the enemy... but right in the Delaware River. YP-336 runs aground, and sinks. And sadly, details are so sketchy, that's all we know about it. We don't have a location or casualties. Hell, I can't even find a photo of her. The YP's, despite being a class, were anything but standardized, and were literally any small wooden or metal hulled vessel between 22 and 100 feet long that the Navy could get their hands on, from pleasure boats to fishing trawlers. So, on that note, we're sharing this photo of a sister hull, YP-422, for perspective. Again, we don't have the specifics, but today we remember the loss of YP-336 right in our own backyard, and will continue to research her story and that of her crew. 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: PubDom #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #battleoftheatlantic #harbordefense #delawareriver #delawarebay #delawareriverhistory #unitedstatesnavy #usnavy #ranaground #yardpatrol #yardpatrolcraft #pressedintoservice #maritimedisaster #maritimehistory # #homefront #thewarathome (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDmwW_gmNS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens) Recreating a memory of snow geese I saw near the Delaware Bay. Not pictured are the thousands and thousands of other noisy geese in the flock and the thousands and thousands of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans that have relocated to Delaware. . . . . #snowgoose #lowerslowerdelaware #delawarebay #migration #statepark #birdwatching #birds #birdsofinstagram #needlefelting #ooak #sculpture #wool #craft #felt #artistsoninstagram #mahteeka #joeandsarahart (at Cape Henlopen State Park)
