Bartramian sandpiper

I first saw willets and bartramian sandpipers—called plover—the 13th. I saw a good many mallards, some widgeon and bluewing teal, four ruddy ducks (the only ones seen during the year), hooded mergansers, two sandhill cranes, and flocks of geese that looked very large to me, and they were when compared with what I had seen in old Connecticut.
