Re: [nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper at Cupsogue
It's a good point. I monitor a dozen lists and alerts daily - but then I'm a bird-bum with nothing better to do ;) So perhaps we could all remember (and encourage all the birders we know) to include the state-wide list in all posts, along with whatever other local, regional, text-based, etc. lists we post on. It's great to have a single state-wide source for the really good birds (we're really lucky to have it). So just a plea to copy nysbirds on any good bird real time (don't assume people aren't interested - and they can always hit "delete" if they aren't). It's a great service, we should make the most of it.

[nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper at Cupsogue, Suffolk Co. 6/14
Firstly, thank you to Anthony for posting about this bird a bit earlier. Around 2:10 this afternoon, on a high rising tide, I found an adult male Curlew Sandpiper on the Cupsogue flats. It was feeding with a small group of knots and Dunlin in the mussel bed at the northeast corner of the flats. Although the tide was rising very quickly, my mom was able to get out onto the flats to see this great bird. I stayed out on the flats as long as I could studying this bird. Just prior to 3 o'clock, the Curlew Sandpiper flew off to one of the higher marsh islands to feed with the larger group of Red Knots. It stayed there until the rising water washed away that area of mud. At that point, it flew north with this group of knots into the grasses on the south side of the largest island. It should be noted that I did not see it earlier in the tide cycle. Tern numbers were rather paltry, so I spent a good amount of time scanning the shorebird and gull flocks. It was not until just before I planned to leave (when the water was significantly higher) that I spotted this bird. Furthermore, although it may have been on the flats earlier, it is somewhat more likely that it was feeding somewhere else around the inlet (i.e., at Pikes Beach, or in an area of the flats that I didn't cover today). Photos can be seen at: https://picasaweb.google.com/117391989476777248424/CurlewSandpiperAtCupsogueJune14th2012 . Good luck to those who go looking for this bird.

[nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper at Cupsogue
I may have missed this but I don't think it hit this list. Michael McBrien reported an adult Curlew Sandpiper on the NE side of the flats at 2:24pm on the LIRBA Text Alert system. No other details but I'm sure Michael will post more later. Worth checking Mecox this evening or tomorrow morning (assuming it doesn't stick at Cupsogue). -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
