[cayugabirds-l] Myers shorebirds
A little late now, but the morning rains brought a small fallout of shorebirds to the spit at Myers Point, which included a very rare-for-the-county juvenile STILT SANDPIPER, along with a Sanderling and other more expected species. Unfortunately, most of the birds departed around 8:30 and did not seem to return. Checklist here: http://ebird.org/view/checklist/S59326659 I checked the point again this evening and found the adult Sanderling still present and joined by a second individual, this one a crisp juvenile, along with two Semipalmated Plovers and three Semipalmated Sandpipers. Today was a welcome change after a long stretch with almost no shorebirds at the park over the last few weeks.
