Jim Cullen and I caught an early(7:30a.m.) rising tide in and around the 
Moriches/Cupsogue area via boat.Highlights included a Whimbrel, 53 Red Knots 
(one with a blue tag high on the leg but showing no numbers)countless 
Sanderlings and Dowitchers, 6 Royal Terns, 3 Forster’s Tern and one lone 
Dunlin. An afternoon visit to Timber Point for the Stilt Sandpiper came up 
empty.Tide was very high limiting our viewing.

[nysbirds-l] AviSys Birding Software

2015-08-03 Thread syschiff 
Hi All,  

A birder reported on a National List Serv that due to  " a very serious, and 
unexpected health issue" that AviSys birding software is shutting down. I 
checked and the notice is on their web site.  There is no mention of 
continuity. I guess we will hear more in due course.

[nysbirds-l] Adult Baird's Sandpiper- Brooklyn, Now

2015-08-03 Thread Doug Gochfeld 
There is an adult Baird's Sandpiper in the wrack line on the beach at Plum
Beach in Brooklyn. It's been here for at least 20 minutes, and it is
behaving as if it will stick. It is closer to the parking lot than to the
tip. Also of note for the location is a migrant Piping Plover on the flats
near the tip.

Good Birding

[nysbirds-l] AviSys Birding Software

Hi All,  

A birder reported on a National List Serv that due to   a very serious, and 
unexpected health issue that AviSys birding software is shutting down. I 
checked and the notice is on their web site.  There is no mention of 
continuity. I guess we will hear more in due course.
