Radka saw a small flock of semipalmated and least sandpipers INSIDE on the kiddie splash Lefrak Rink in prospect. They Should've bought their skates! ( A marine creature 😆 )
Semis are grayer overwashed birds with short blunt tipped bills. Least are darker backed,thin pointy billed birds with yellow legs and breast bib. Third photo shows least. 4th photo is excellent comparison of semi and least ( on tight)
Terrific find by Radka in an unusual location.

Hi Peter,
Happy Saturday!
Can you please take a look at these birds that were in the kiddie splash area at Lefrak today?
Sandpipers? Least? Semipalmated?
Thanks,
