[nysbirds-l] Riverhead Shorebirds, Suffolk County
A quick check of the fields to the west of the the intersection of Rt 105 and Northville Turnpike in Riverhead this afternoon yielded 11 Buff-breasted Sandpiper, 2 American Golden Plover, 1 Bairds Sandpiper and a handful of Killdeer which were calling consistently, but out of view. None of these birds were visible from the shoulder of either of the above mentioned roads, but were only visible by walking to the back corner of the Fireman's Training Facility parking lot and scoping to the SW and W from there. The driveway for this spot is just before the intersection with Rt 105 if you are heading north on Northville Turnpike (on your left). Views were not as close as have been recently reported, but enjoyable none the less.
