More White-rumped Sandpipers at Green Pond ~ June 19, 2008

During a morning stop at the flooded fields by Green Pond, I refound the five White-rumped Sandpipers that I saw yesterday. Having to get to work, I quickly snapped this one photo of the five together for documentation purposes.

Five White-rumped Sandpipers at the flooded fields next to Green Pond in Northampton County. This is an extremely late date. I can only assume that these are very late stragglers since they should be on their arctic breeding grounds at this time and it would appear to be way too early for these to be southbound migrants.
