[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue County Park 7-11
The highlights from 2 tide cycles at Cupsogue today include the following:
BROWN PELICAN (BRPE): observed during an early morning seawatch. The bird
touched down briefly and then continued on heading in a NW direction. I kept
an eye on the nearby sand spits hoping it may have circled back but it
apparently kept on going.
Roseate Terns (2)
Flagged Semipalmated Sandpiper - this one I was able to read.
Ringed Short-billed Dowitcher - I have not seen many of these in the field so
it was a treat to find one. This bird had 4 color rings in addition to its
federal band. I am looking forward to finding out who uses this banding scheme.
Wild Turnkey with 2 chicks - notable for me as it is my first for Cupsogue.
Lesser Black-backed Gulls 3, aged as 2Cy and 3Cy types.
The Tern numbers were again low with not much variety. Shorebird numbers appear
to hold steady. Although there was a definite uptick in Short-billed Dowitchers
as I broke the 200 count today.
Other than the Brown Pelican in the AM, the seawatching was non productive.
Cheers,
