The highlight of a mornings birding at Cupsogue was a Marbled Godwit (likely the bird being seen off and on this past week) sleeping out on the mudflat opposite the parking lot. Other birds present included a single Black Tern and forty-five Royal Terns. Overall shorebird numbers were not particularly impressive. At Pike's Beach a brief sea watch yielded a few Cory's Shearwaters and a Parasitic Jaeger harassing terns.
