[nysbirds-l] Sunken Forest

I trudged down to the Sunken Forest from Ocean Beach this evening, aiming to be there around dusk. One Chuck-will's-widow was heard in the west end of the forest, in from the boardwalk leading to the Bay Overlook. The bird was quite a ways in from the trail. Also, a flock of 42 sanderlings

Re: [nysbirds-l] Shorebird update

I should say that there were small flocks out on some of the exposed bars around Triton Lane and Tiana Beach Suffolk Co. These were groups of 10-50 comprised mainly of Sb Dowitcher, Least and Semi Sandpipers with a few yellowlegs and Semi Plovers. So I don't mean to report that there are no

Re: [nysbirds-l] Shorebird update from Pikes Beach Suffolk Co.

No shorebirds on the exposed flats at Pikes in Westhampton Beach today at low tide. One flyby Royal Tern there and give more on a bar north if Triton Lane to the east. I don't remember ever seeing shorebird numbers this low in late July Mike Cooper Ridge LI, NY Sent from my iPhone On Jul
