Timber Point: Common Greenshank
I was notified of a report of a Common Greenshank at Timber Point golf course - at first I didn't think I could go but a series of unusual circumstances made it possible. I didn't stay long but got decent looks at it. It stood out from surrounding Greater Yellowlegs because it was much paler. I could also see that the bird was more upturned than the Yellowlegs. I was especially happy to get this lifer since there were reports of Golden Winged Warblers and Kentucky Warblers in the NYC area that I would like to see but wasn't able to.

I'm a beginner, was there that day to shoot some osprey and egrets with my new Canon 100-400 lens, stumbled across a large group of people, stopped to see what was going on, i'm not a birder by any means but got to see a rare sighting :)
