[nysbirds-l] Long Island Birding Highlights 6-13
Highlights:
Cupsogue: 1 Wilson's Storm Petrel - the only highlight from an hour of
seawatching.
On the Cupsogue Flats: 4 Roseate, 3 Royal, 1 Black (1st Summer) and 2
GULL-BILLED TERNS. Were present in addition to the expected Sternidaes.
For shorebirds, the highlights were 4 White-rumped Sandpipers, 23 Red Knots and
14 Short-billed Dowitchers.
Jones Beach Swale: continuing 2 Black-necked Stilts (BNST), 3 White-rumped
Sandpipers, 1 Western Sandpiper and two 1Cy LBBGs were the highlights there.
If the BNSTs are the same birds observed by one Stan Furtak at the end of May
(30th, it would mean these birds have hung around the Jones Beach area for more
than 2 weeks.
Nickerson Beach: lots of Beach activity and vehicular disturbances. I never
really had a huge number of Terns to look at. The highlights were four 1st
summer COTEs.
A hike along the beach sorting through the Gulls turned up two 3Cy Lesser
Black-backed Gulls.
Cheers,
