We have been getting a wide variety of unusual bird sightings for the past 11 days or so, beginning with a briefly seen American Avocet in DeKorte Park.

Since then we have had reports of a Glossy Ibis, Caspian Tern, Stilt Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpipers, Wilson’s Phalarope (above), and more near or in DeKorte Park, so keep an eye out.

The Caspian Tern and White-rump were seen on the guided walks on Saturday’s Kevin Karlson Shorebird Day.
