For those who might be interested, *5* *Gull-billed Terns* (two adults
feeding three juveniles) were still present this morning on the sandbar at
the West End 2 boat basin near the Coast Guard Station.  In addition, *3
possibly 4 Black Terns* were observed feeding in Jones Inlet.

One bird not mentioned in Ken Feustel's Jones Beach report yesterday
was a *Marbled
Godwit* seen by a few of us, on one of the bars north of the Coast Guard
Station.  I did not see this bird today, but the tide was low during my
visit, so it could be anywhere nearby if it did not leave.

Also of note from yesterday at the Coast Guard Station were *2 juvenile
Semipalmated Sandpipers*, *2 juvenile Least Sandpipers* and *1 juvenile
Sanderling*.  Be prepared for mosquitoes if visiting either the Coast Guard
Station or the swale.  Today, the mosquitoes near the swale was so bad a few
beachgoers ran for cover abandoning the beach after encountering hordes of
mosquitoes.

Missing the shorebirds already!
