GSBAS Tues Nature Walk 09/05/17 Heckscher SP

We mat in Field 5 of Heckscher State Park on a beautiful morning. It was somewhat warm but breezy enough to compensate. We tried to walk  the NW path from the field but the onslaught of mosquitoes drove us back. We then proceed to Field 7 to check the remaining puddles and bayside shore line for shorebirds  and what else we could see.

We did manage to see a couple of shorebirds, Black-bellied Plovers, Semi Palmated Plovers, Semi Palmated  Sandpipers and Killdeer. At the end of the walk there was an Osprey standing in the puddle.
