[cayugabirds-l] Sanderling, Myers Point
A juvenile SANDERLING is currently foraging on the spit at Myers Point, perhaps the same bird present here last night before flying south.

[cayugabirds-l] Field Trip Sunday
I will lead a trip up the lake on Sunday. Meet at 7:30 in the parking area, east side of Stewart Park to car pool. This will be an all-day trip, getting back to Ithaca late in the afternoon. I expect to visit several of the lakeside spots (east side) to check for newly arrived shorebirds and ducks, then explore the Montezuma refuge and some of the DEC hotspots to the north of there. Bring snacks and lunch (if you wish). I do plan a stop to buy lunch either at the gas station on rts 5 & 20 or in Savannah.

[cayugabirds-l] Bone plain Road
I prefer to get my car serviced at picturesque places out in the country so I can be surrounded by nature while I wait. While getting new tires at Pete's Tires on Bone Plain Road near Sheldon Road, in Town of Dryden, I was able to bird around the property the whole time I waited. Besides a thicketed wetland with a little stream running through it across the road, there are three, tiered, beaver ponds with nice mudflats, where I've seen Spotted Sandpiper's in the past. And this day (8/30) I saw a pair of Eastern Kingbirds, at least two pairs of American Goldfinch, several juvenile American Robins, a Green Heron and a Great Blue Heron, flycatcher spp. , a female Belted Kingfisher, an immature Osprey perched on a skinny dead tree, A. Crows, Gray Catbirds, an un-identified warbler, & domestic chickens crowing.
