Checked agricultural fields from Princeton west of US1, east towards Black Point and south towards race track from 6:30 to 8pm. More shorebird activity than yesterday.

White-rumped Sandpiper - 3
Semipalmated Sandpiper - several. 1 banded individual!
Least Sandpiper - several
Stilt Sandpiper - 2
Spotted Sandpiper - several. Many birds with non-breeding plumage
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Black-necked Stilt - many
Killdeer - many

and more Starlings than I've seen in a long time.

Unfortunately, most of the fields in this vicinity are too overgrown for shorebirds. The rains over the last couple of days seem to have helped.
