Late this morning Sue and I, alerted to the presence of Buff-breasted Sandpipers on the West End ponds by other birders, observed three individuals on the ponds between the Nature Center and WE2 at Jones Beach State Park. The recent rainfall has partially filled the ponds, but shorebird numbers were well down from the totals observed two weeks ago. Also present were Western(2), Stilt(3) and White-rumped(1) Sandpipers.
