Find More Birds by changing your route! The Least Sandpiper is a rare visitor to Brooklyn Bridge Park, but when I decided to walk out to the very end of Pier 5, which I rarely do, I found this one foraging in shallow pools of rainwater on the furthest marina platform! Here's the Bird-finding recipe using "ingredients" from my book Find More Birds:

Head out after a storm (#104)

Change your route (#14)

Check freshwater sources, even drips (#3)

Look for movement (#2)

This one is more mudpiper than sandpiper. I love its Spanish name.

I'm back with a Least Sandpiper Picture. I kid you not this bird was so close. We're talking like 10 feet or 3 metres away. It was such a cool experience and I am incredibly happy with how this picture turned out! Happy Pride Month All!!!
