> We went to Byllesby yet again around noon today and spotted some nice

> Caspian Terns with Common Terns hanging out with them. We spotted three 
> Short-billed Dowitchers as well, along with two Dunlins. Many peeps that 
> were too far away to ID. (Possibly Semipalmated) A few lesser yellowlegs 
> were there as well.
> After that, we went to the two marshes. Didn't spot the Snowy Egret at 
> 180th, not much else there.
> At 140th we spotted four Semipalmated Plovers, four Baird's Sandpipers, 
> and two Solitary Sandpipers.

> First time we've spotted Willets at Byllesby for a year or so!
> Good birding!
