I have yet to see anything posted more broadly, but a brightly-colored Curlew
Sandpiper was seen and photographed from the Montezuma NWR Visitor Center
(located in upstate, NY) and was present at least through 2:45pm today.
Good luck to any who try for this bird so late in the day.
Sincerely,
I am planning on going down to Delaware to find the Curlew Sandpiper that
has been reported the past few days.
It will be a one day trip and I am planning on leaving early Saturday
morning.
I will have room for three so if you are interested please let me know by
Friday

This afternoon my Dad and I stopped at Montezuma for a couple of hours, and
there was some excellent shorebirding.
We started with the visitor center which is flooded now, and looks good for
shorebirds. Here we had eighteen (18) SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS and four (4)
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS.
The continuing male CURLEW SANDPIPER was reported to eBird from 4:00 this
evening from the same location.

Jay McGowan and I searched for the Curlew Sandpiper at Knox Marsellus for
quite a while this morning without success. The light was bad from East
Road and the birds were distant from Towpath. It could easily still be
there, but we were unable to find it.
The Wilson's Phalarope was still present
I spent most of the day around the marsh with Brad Carlson, Kendra Carter, Mike
and Joann Tetlow without finding the Curlew Sandpiper.
I agree with Brad that it still could be there. We did do a lot of scanning but
the distances are great and the light is iffy. When a Northern Harrier put the
Tom Johnson and Chris Wood reported ,a few minutes ago, a curlew sandpiper
adult male at Knox-Marcellus marsh from East Rd. (TBJ, CLW)
