149. (246) SEMEPALMATED SANDPIPER 



A migrant. In autumn these birds have been taken at 

 Sabattus. 



150. (242) LEAST SANDPIPER 



A migrant. This is one of the many sandpipers found 

 at Sabattus Pond. It has been seen at Lake Auburn. 

 My observation of the last three species was at the coast.

A summer resident ; not as common as in former years. 

 Arrives as soon as the ground thaws enough to probe its

 My latest date of observation is October 16, but it has 

 been seen later.
