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, "I prefer to be true to

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. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39350964 Dunlins

Re:[nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper Jones Beach we2

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

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. Neil Hayward Cambridge, MA Sent from my iPhone On Aug 21,

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.
