Most serious shorebird fanciers know that July can be a time when unexpected species can show in these latitudes.
Such a bird was found today on the Indiana lake-front - yes, some distance from NY state… but still, on a Great Lake’s shore. the IN-Birds list-serve & of course also other media will give updates on this. A great find for the region. http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1330631 <http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1330631> hot summer birding, Tom Fiore New York [& points north] -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
