6/2/20 Milford Point, possible hybrid breeding plumage Calidris Sandpiper, Black Skimmers, Whimbrel
6/2/20 Milford Point, one probable breeding plumage Western Sandpiper (unusual here is spring migration), and another probable hybrid Calidris. Also, Black Skimmers, Whimbrel. The ID of the Calidris Sandpiper in difficult; it seems too large overall and too ong-winged for WESA in relation to the SESAs. If it's not WESA, perhaps White-rumped SA, but its bill seems too decurved for WRSA, and it seems to have no orange color at bill base. It seems long-winged enough for WRSA.
