[nysbirds-l] CRESLI trip today, 8/3
I was on today's CRESLI whale-watching trip out of Montauk, enjoying the beautiful sunny weather. Sightings included: 300+ Corey's Shearwaters 300+ Greater Shearwaters 1 Manx/Audubon Shearwater (just couldn't get the ID) 400+ Wilson's Storm-Petrels 1 juvenile Northern Gannet 1 Fin Whale 1 Minke Whale 30+ Common Dolphins and more tuna than could fit in all the cans in all the bodegas in New York City. Seriously, there were more tuna in the air than birds at some points (that might be a bit hyperbolic but you get the idea). The trip was fun, and well worth the long drive out to Montauk early in the morning. I'll have a post up with pictures on the blog by the weekend I hope.

[nysbirds-l] Baird's Sandpiper - Hulbert Rd, Town of Wilson, Niagara County
On the way home from work today, I found a BAIRD'S SANDPIPER at the shrinking puddles on Hulbert Road. I also had Killdeer, 2 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, SEMI. PLOVER, SEMI. and LEAST SANDPIPERS. I only had binoculars so other species could easily have been missed. Good birding!
