Jones Beach West End 5 May There were 2 Gull-billed Terns on the far side of the mud flat on Short Beach Island. They flew off to the west. A bit latter I found the pair flying over the area south of the West End #2 concession stand. They flew off and finally landed on a island in the still extensive wash over. A scope view showed there were four. Piping Plover are on the beach side with a smattering of shorebirds consisting of 50 Least Sandpipers, Killdeer, Greater Yellowlegs and Willet.
