[cayugabirds-l] Buff-breasted Sandpiper
Hi All, Apologies for the late post and for not previously alerting the birding community, but I had a Buff-breasted Sandpiper in the visitor center pool at Montezuma this morning. Please see my ebird report from 10:55 am. I had caught a glimpse of the bird and had made a mental note to myself to check the books to make sure I was not being fooled by a bright juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper, but then completely forgot to follow up until Dave Nutter's report came in of the Buff-breasted at Knox Marcellus, apparently visible from East Road. In my defense, I was busily helping a mother/daughter duo who were without a scope get views through my scope of the Long-billed Dowitchers and the Ross's Goose that were present at the visitor center. Then lunch, drive home, supper to cook, exercise, get Dave Nutters report, shower, eat, submit my own ebird report, compose this email. Hopefully the bird will still be around tomorrow, although viewing conditions will be decidedly different than today's. Good luck to all. And many thanks to Dave Nutter.

Larue and Jackie report a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER on the Wildlife Drive this morning in one of the impoundments along the I-90 section of the drive, just past the fuel tank.

[cayugabirds-l] Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Montezuma
The BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER found by Mike Tetlow a couple of hours ago is still present with Killdeer in the plowed field at SE corner of Armitage Rd. X Rt. 89, viewed from 89 just west of north end of East Road. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Buff-breasted Sandpiper
RE: Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Knox-Marsellus. I would like to offer Dave full half-credit for the Buff-breasted. Not only was it his suggestion that we try east road one more time at the end of a long day, but it was also he who kept whispering in my ear "No Bob, that's not a Mourning Dove." Apparently I had confused the two birds some time in the past. I had forgotten. Unfortunately, he had not. The Buff-breasted was actually an easy find. It was foraging exactly where it would be expected: along the grassy edge of receding mudflats. Since the water had recently receded, the grass was short, and the bird stood out clearly. Plus, it was the only bird of that color: decidedly buffy on head and breast. With a dark-and-golden patterning on the back. Unfortunately, it's a long way from the road down to the flats, and a scope is necessary to get one on it. Best of luck to those who try for it today.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Buff-Breasted Sandpiper
This BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER was present late Saturday, very close to the photo blind parking area, and the wildlife drive just past it. Look at Diana's beautiful photos. That's what Ann & I saw, the best views ever of this species for either of us. Thanks, Diana & Carol! The wildlife drive was open today all the way to the bend in the road, and the new shorebird area had similarly wonderful close views of AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER (an actual one-legged bird), a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER, several PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, plus at only slightly greater distance a WILSON'S SNIPE, a few LEAST SANDPIPERS, several SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS, a few GREATER YELLOWLEGS, and greater numbers of KILLDEER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS. The detail we could see on these birds was positively disorienting at times. Kudos to Montezuma NWR for making this new shorebird habitat! Does anybody know its name? Meanwhile a SOLITARY SANDPIPER was at the outlet to the Seneca River near the beginning of the Wildlife Drive. We spent so much time ogling the Buff-breasted Sandpiper that we skipped the visitor center in order to get to May's Point Pool where the IBIS and the LITTLE BLUE HERON were both still present along with plenty of other waterbirds and shorebirds. Responding to reports of the RUFF and the RED KNOT being seen from East Road, we went there last, but missed them. We blamed fading light. Best of luck to those still trying for either of these birds.On our way north late this afternoon we paused alongside NYS 96 in the town of Ulysses for scope views of a very high, very distant, and fairly large (dozens of birds) kettle of Buteos that were surely BROAD-WINGED HAWKS. Also present were several TURKEY VULTURES and a RED-TAILED HAWK (both were more low & local), a high southbound BALD EAGLE, and a circling FALCON sp. On the subject of raptors, we saw several OSPREY around Montezuma NWR, a PEREGRINE FALCON flying over and perching near May's Point Pool, and an AMERICAN KESTREL west of NYS 89 just south of the railroad tracks south of 5&20. --Dave NutterOn Sep 10, 2010, at 07:53 PM, joe & Diana wrote: Hi Muckracers, Going to go out on a limb, and after much debate, Carol and I are pretty sure this is a Buff-Breasted seen at close distance at the new shorebird area on the main drive.
