The flock of Sanderlings, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Dunlin, and Red Knots with
which the Curlew Sandpiper was associating took off and broke into multiple
parts around 3:35. We tracked the CUSA as long as we could, but ultimately lost
track of it. A number of searchers are on site and will likely
Alt plumages bird feeding on bar with many shorebirds. Will report details of

I would rather a post about a rarity even if it turns out later not to be so. I
am sure we all learned a bit more about Dunlin and Curlew Sandpipers. Nothing
to be embarrassed about, you made the call and handled it well regardless of
the outcome.
Cheers,

We all make mistakes. No worries. I found this VERY helpful in learning
more about DUNLIN and CURLEW SANDPIPERS in basic plumage.

I'm a fan of getting the word out and giving people a chance to see the bird,

In a recent post it was said “Shorebirds are not easy.” Yep.
I’ll admit to a modicum of embarrassment at getting this ID wrong.
Having said so, multiple field guides refer to a field mark of white
rump, which I saw well, but upon which I apparently placed undeserved
weight. Well if you can't

It would be great if any photos of this bird be made available for public
viewing. Rump or no rump. Thanks in advance.
"I prefer to be true to myself,
Looking at the photos that are included with Stacy Meyerheinrich's eBird
checklist (link below) I would suggest the observers reconsider the ID. IMO
this bird is very clearly a Dunlin, as proposed in a follow up posting by
Steve Walter.

I hate to do this - and I saw the bird in question - but it looks like a
Dunlin to me. While I wait to see other people's photographs showing a white
rump, I've gone over my pictures. All other characteristics are perfectly in
line with what a juvenile Dunlin might exhibit in late September. Most

Hi all,
Gail's hunch about the Curlew Sandpiper unfortunately, turned out to be
true. The bird was not present at Mecox today. At least not during the
morning hours when Richard Aracil, Brian Padden, David Burgh and I searched
for it. We did however bump in to its original finder, Jim Ash, which wa
Tom Burke and I enjoyed nice views of the Curlew Sandpiper for an hour
during which the Curlew took 3 flights with some peeps out towards the
sea, each time ultimately returning to the flats. Around 7 pm, while
watching with John Shemilt, the bird took off on its own and headed
straight out to sea
Seen at 7:00AM this morning on the western-most sand flats.

I'm leaving Mecox Bay and the Curlew Sandpiper is still present. The bird was feeding near the west edge of the main sandflat when I arrived. At 9:45, it flew off and landed on the large sand island in the bay just north of the flats. It continued feeding here for a bit, but had disappeared arou
Yes - I saw the bird yesterday at noon. It was near the rusty metal wire at the
far west of the flats. It was feeding actively and then stopped and went to
sleep under the metal - so check there if you don't see it running around.

The Curlew Sandpiper has returned to the Pikes Beach area and has been on the

hours. Getting good looks from the overlook park.

The Curlew Sandpiper took off with 3 other shore birds heading east out over
the water around 8:55am. It has not yet returned, and may have headed over to
Cupsogue. The tide is Starting to go out.

Currently being seen at Pikes Beach- tip of the eastern spit of land. Tide is

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.
