[cayugabirds-l] Baird's Sandpiper?

[David Nicosia]

I was at Morgan rd earlier today and think I got the Baird's that others
have seen. I took a photo with my phone on my scope at 70X. The other
photos I took didn't come out. The bird was larger than the SESA around and
not as big as the PESA. The primary projection was maybe slightly past tail
or even. The bird's foraging was different than the SESA.  The color looks
good. In the photo the bird in question is in the front to the left a bit.
Am I correct in my id as a Baird's???

See:

Also if anyone got a photo of the Baird's at Morgan can you share?

Thanks
Dave Nicosia

[cayugabirds-l] Baird's Sandpiper and More

[bob mcguire]

I had an errand to run up north today and so stopped at a couple of spots in 
the Montezuma Complex to check on shorebirds. 

The visitor's center pool (?) has been disced, and some of the troughs have 
begun to fill with the recent rains. I understand, however, that watering it 
has been delayed due to a plumbing problem. In any case, the only inhabitants I 
could see were a dozen Canada Geese.

Knox-Marcellus has been drawn down, exposing considerably more mud - and the 
number of shorebirds has increased several-fold over the past couple of weeks. 
I did not spend time counting or closely examining each bird. The bird that did 
stand out was a molting adult AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER.

I was told that the DEC has begun to draw down the south pond at the MAC, and I 
walked out to check. Shorebird habitat was about the best I've seen there, and 
there was a good variety of birds to observe. They were a lot closer than the 
birds at K-M as seen from East Road. Of particular interest were the first (for 
me this year) juvenile dowitchers. I counted 21 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS and 1 
LONG-BILLED, though there may have been more that were obscured by the cattails 
in front of me. It appeared that all of the dowitchers were juveniles. They all 
had fresh plumage with no evidence of body molt. The Short-billeds showed the 
classic barring on their tertials, and the lone Long-billed showed the tiger 
striping there.

Also of note was a single BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, a handful of WHITE-RUMPEDS, 4 
SEMI-PALMATED PLOVERS, 80 Semipalmated and 13 Least Sandpipers.

Dave Nutter will be leading a dike walk at K-M this Sunday. There should be a 
lot to see!
