I had the opportunity to go birding before work so I went to try to find the continuing Anhinga and Great White Heron "upstate". After a little while I found the Great White Heron and was sure it was the target bird because it had a patch of oil or something on it's back. I went birding by the Piermont? Pier nearby on the Hudson and was surprised to find some sandpipers such as Semi-Palmated and Sem--Palmated Plovers. I had some extra time before getting to the office and decided to also try for a continuing Anhinga at Old Tappan. It took me a while and I had to use the scope that luckily was in the car, but I did get to see it. While not a lifer, I only saw an Anhinga once before years ago in Florida and it was flying high above for about a minute.
