These birds were foraging the shoreline at Big Egg Marsh in Queens, probably hoping for some Horseshoe Crab eggs. It is in the spirit of the season then, that I share with you these shots of Least Sandpipers Calidris minutilla. Whatever they were doing they were very cooperative for me and my digiscoping rig.

One of my regular stops in late May and early June is Big Egg Marsh, a wonderful salt marsh just a short distance south of the much-more-famous Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. It is a great spot for Horseshoe Crabs to spawn and lay eggs so it is no wonder that shorebirds congregate to eat those eggs. Eh, Semipalmated Sandpipers.

Sadly they were not successful with their first clutch of eggs, but are busily making nest scrapes again. We are hopeful that soon they will have laid another clutch of eggs.

I have tons of trees and could put it close but not sure if they would be able to find it and don't want them to abandon their egg. when I did I realized I was being watched by the bird. I assumed I had frightened them and they wouldn't return. Can I safely move it?

Since I found the first Pied Oystercatcher nest on Cable Beach in July 2000 I have learnt that the eggs rarely hatch due to predation and if they do hatch then a fully fledged chick is a rare and wonderful outcome.

Such big clutches are essential for survival, as there’s hardly a predator around that won’t eat an egg or chick given half a chance.
