The
Black-necked Stilt pictured above was standing in the plover pond between the Meadows and the State Park this morning. (
Greater Yellowlegs on the left.) The cold front that passed through this morning may have pushed some of these shorebirds down as they were migrating.

There were also over a dozen
Eastern Willets,
40
Forster's Terns and 1
Common Tern sitting amongst the
Ring-billed, Laughing and
Great-black Backed Gulls in the SE corner.

The
Common Tern is the second bird in from the left. Notice the darker bare parts, dark outer primaries and greyer chest.
