[nysbirds-l] East Pond 8-8-16
Shorebird numbers are again down with less than 20 Semipalmated Sandpipers
observed this afternoon. The shorebird highlights were3 STILT SANDPIPERS.
Juvenile shorebirds included 1 Short-billed Dowitcher, multiple Lesser
Yellowlegs, 3 Semipalmated Sandpipers and 6 Least Sandpipers.
The non Shorebird highlight was a SORA, which I documented via photographs and
video.

[nysbirds-l] Plum Beach, Kings County
I spent a few hours at the end of the incoming through the beginning of the outgoing tide cycles at Plum Beach with Bobbi Manian today. Highlights included: Black Scoter Royal Tern(2) Piping Plover(2) "Eastern" Willet (getting late) Common and Least Terns were busy feeding young and the catch of the day goes to the Double-crested Cormorant who caught an eel as big as itself and managed to get it down before the cavalry of gulls arrived! Photos are in the Ebird checklist below. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31024419 We also found a dead parakeet or parrot washed up on shore. It was roughly starling sized. I've posted a photo of it at the link below if anyone cares to identify it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/103866258@N08/28858523685/in/dateposted-public/ Good birding, Sean Sime Brooklyn, NY -- 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/ --

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel-Cupsogue Beach
Jim Cullen and I viewed a Whimbrel at Cupsogue Beach this afternoon on the falling tide.The bird hung around for about 10 minutes before flying westward.An interesting aspect was that this bird appeared to be very light in coloration.Not sure if it was due to light conditions but keep an eye out.
