[nysbirds-l] C. Ravens

In my earlier post of 7/8, I forgot to include seeing/hearing at least 4 birds at the Hampton Bays Water District's property, located 1 block s/o of the H.Bays LIRR Station, w/o Ponquogue Ave. A pair of Ravens bred there last year, and probably, did so again this year. Cheers, Bob --

The bird was first spotted sleeping on the island near the North End, but has since then moved south. This is my first venture onto the pond after waiting for water levels (still high), to drop a bit. I'll have a more detailed report posted on my blogs with a shorebirds update. If you are

[nysbirds-l] Elegant Tern

Currently being seen at Cupsogue on the flats next to a Royal Tern for great comparison. Larger, decurved bill and shaggier crest. I am standing across from the flats currently, the water is getting fairly high. If anybody is familiar with how to get across safely during high tide, I will be

[nysbirds-l] correction to earlier post - Western - NO, Hybrid-Yes

A few days ago I made an incorrect post of a breeding plumage Western Sandpiper at Pike's Beach. I initially struggled with the ID due to the off size and plumage (especially the Pectoral-like breast markings), but lazily backed into Western Sandpiper as the likeliest candidate - wrong. I heard
