Thanks, Meena, for the additional species (American Golden-Plover makes at least 16 shorebird species from Knox-Marsellus yesterday), the distance data, and the optics observations. I've been thinking that the Buff-breasted Sandpipers (there may have been more than 2) might be easier to see from

I, too, was at Sapsucker Woods much of the morning, along with Ann Mitchell, Stuart Krasnoff, Gary Kohlenberg, and Paul Anderson. Those of us who stayed late enough to run into Mark family were directed first to a warbler flock containing most of the species he listed, and then to a Philadelphia

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Buff-Breasted Sandpiper

This BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER was present late Saturday, very close to the photo blind parking area, and the wildlife drive just past it. Look at Diana's beautiful photos. That's what Ann I saw, the best views ever of this species for either of us. Thanks, Diana Carol! The wildlife drive was open

Less than 3 hours before Gary's report came in, I counted 83 COMMON LOONS cruising in a tight flock on the surface near the red light. Did the Pacific Loon hold it's breath underwater the entire time I double-counted the flock? Was it around the point? Did it align itself perfectly behind a larger

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pacific Loon question

I suspect it's one bird who took a novel route the first time but found that it worked well, so it repeats the trip annually. I share your curiosity about what makes the Sheldrake area attractive to the Pacific Loon, but maybe it's just the most easy-to-view portion of a much larger part of the
