Around 5:45pm Tuesday 8 June I talked to Stuart Krasnoff who was at East Rd in Tyre and watching: 2 Sandhill Cranes 5 Black-bellied Plovers, including 3 in beautiful breeding plumage 2 or more Semipalmated Plovers, lots of Peeps, including a couple larger ones, but all left unidentified due to distance and a case of "scope-eye."
He did not find the Hudsonian Godwit on his first stop at the visitor center. On Sunday late morning and evening (yes, Susan, I went back after other errands), on East Rd there were 2 Sandhill Cranes a handful of Semipalmated Plovers about 50 Semipalmated Sandpipers 2 White-rumped Sandpipers 1 Dunlin And I also did not see the Hudsonian Godwit. However I did get a nice look at a Solitary Sandpiper alongside the Wildlife Drive opposite Benning Marsh. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
