Banded Sanderling JK> At Six Men's Bay

Sanderling JK>

Look who is back at Six Men’s Bay – Sanderling JK>.   This bird was first seen and reported on by local photographer Himal Reece on January 3^rd, this year before it migrated to North America (Read about it here).  Another sighting this year was made at Cooks Beach New Jersey, United States on May 6^th.

Sanderling JK> was banded at Kimbles Beach, New Jersey, the United States on May 19^th, 2019 and had a few sightings between then and now, of which you can see below:

• 5/24/2019 - Reeds Beach - south, New Jersey, United States
• 5/30/2019 - Kimbles Beach - north, New Jersey, United States 
• 6/1/2019 - Villas Beaches, New Jersey, United States

• 1/3/2021 - Six Mens Bay, N/A, Barbados

This return to Six Men’s Bay by Sanderling JK> is a sign that it was finding pleasing conditions there.  I will be on the lookout to see if he will spend the winter with us like last year. I reported the resighting to www.bandedbirds.org. 

Have a great week and enjoy your birding.
