12/23- Westport- Burying Hill Beach - The SPOTTED SANDPIPER continues.I stopped by about 11:30 today,two hours after low tide to check for it and within five minutes of searching,it flew out of the Mill Creek and landed on the Burying Hill side and then began working it's way up New Creek before I lost sight of it.Although there is quite a bit of ice and snow,there are still plenty of areas for this bird to forage.
