Re: [nysbirds-l] Wood Sandpiper Timber Point Golf Course now Suffolk Co

[Andrew Baksh]

Congrats to Pat Lindsay on a most excellent find!

The Wood Sandpiper continues intermittently. Patience is required as the bird 
disappears for long periods. Do ensure to layer up as it is windy and cold.

The wet spots where the Wood Sandpiper has frequented have been good for other 
birds. The turnover include Glossy Ibis’, Short and Long-billed Dowitcher, 
Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Dunlins and a Willet that stirred some 
discussion on Western vs Eastern.

Review the previous posts on location and where to look.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Blue Grosbeak Feeder Visit

[Joel Horman]

A male Blue Grosbeak visited our feeder in Ridge this AM,  a first for 
us and number 114 on our yard list. A rather early date but I don't know 
if it might be a record. Photos were taken.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Wood Sandpiper Timber Point Golf Course now Suffolk Co

[Mike]

Hi Sean,

As you drive into the golf course, the road bends to the right.  A few hundred 
yards in, there’s a left turn that goes to the east marina.  Don’t turn there- 
continue on toward the large building (catering hall).  Just after the marina 
turnoff, (which you didn’t turn on to!) there will be, on your left, a grassy 
area with wet spots and behind that, a golf course pond.  The bird has been 
hanging out around the wet spots there. 

Obviously, for anyone else heading over there- do not walk out onto the grass 
or golf course areas.  

Good luck,
Mike

Re: [nysbirds-l] Wood Sandpiper Timber Point Golf Course now Suffolk Co

[Mike]

Hi Sean,

As you drive into the golf course, the road bends to the right.  A few hundred 
yards in, there’s a left turn that goes to the east marina.  Don’t turn there- 
continue on toward the large building (catering hall).  Just after the marina 
turnoff, (which you didn’t turn on to!) there will be, on your left, a grassy 
area with wet spots and behind that, a golf course pond.  The bird has been 
hanging out around the wet spots there. 

Obviously, for anyone else heading over there- do not walk out onto the grass 
or golf course areas.  

Good luck,
Mike

Good views at the puddle until the Wood Sandpiper flew with several other birds 
towards the marsh.
