 The bird is an Empidonax flycatcher with a dingy yellowish coloration 
 overall, low contrast between face and throat, bold eyering with distinct 
 flare at the rear, distinct ragged-looking crest, very short primary 
 projection, apparently relatively long tail (compared to Yellow-bellied), 
 and pale fringes on the wing reaching awfully close to lower of two wing 
 bars.
 
 Thanks to Joshua Malbin for the heads up via local alert group, where he

 Certainly a bird worth keeping an eye out for in the coming days...
 
 Happy mega season,

 The bird is an Empidonax flycatcher with a dingy yellowish coloration 
 overall, low contrast between face and throat, bold eyering with distinct 
 flare at the rear, distinct ragged-looking crest, very short primary 
 projection, apparently relatively long tail (compared to Yellow-bellied), 
 and pale fringes on the wing reaching awfully close to lower of two wing 
 bars.

[nysbirds-l] Mecox Inlet, Southampton--Sandwich Tern

[Queensgirl30]

Just observed a Sandwich Tern on the sandbar, along with a Black Tern, 3 
Roseate Ternsmany, over 60 Common Terns, and 3 Black Skimmers. Note that 
parking is limited to Southampton town permits 9am to 6pm on the Flying Point 
(west) side of Inlet.)

Very few shorebirds and Least Terns (about 12 on the east side of the cut). 
Guess the Leasts are all at Sagg!
