[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park shorebirds

2013-10-31 Thread Jay McGowan
Not much shaking at Stewart Park this morning in the rain. Ruddy Ducks are
up to 72 birds off the east end, and Buffleheads at least 12, but I wasn't
able to find any scoters offshore (all three species were seen from East
Shore Park yesterday morning.) I did spot a few shorebirds on the red
lighthouse jetty, a yellowlegs and several smaller shorebirds that I
thought might be peeps. Since it's getting late for any of the smaller
shorebirds, I decided to take a very wet jog out to the white lighthouse
for a closer look (this is what I did last week to confirm the Pectoral and
Dunlin on the jetty as well.) Alas, the yellowlegs turned out to be a
GREATER YELLOWLEGS and the smaller birds were only 9 DUNLIN, foraging all
along the jetty. Still, it was cool to see that many shorebirds at the
South End.
