Re: [cayugabirds-l] Marcellus-Knox Marsh migrants
I spent a few hours along East Rd yesterday between 8 and 11 AM with results similar to Drew's and Gary's. No Buff-breasted Sandpiper or Red-necked Phalarope for me either, but I did see 2 WILSON'S PHALAROPES, 1 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, a few WILSON'S SNIPE and an EURASIAN WIGEON, plus 1 seemingly early DUNLIN. There were also 20 or more Dowitchers, which I took for Short-billed. I experienced Drew's BOBOLINK movement as well, but I was on Rt 89 along the Seneca/Wayne County border watching some juvenile Horned Larks around 7:45. I didn't observe any other noticeable landbird migration yesterday, but I did have a WHIP-POOR-WILL make a few quick calls around 8:15 from somewhere in the woods behind me. This was while I was at the first cut out in the treeline along Towpath Rd.

Around noon I had 2 Black-bellied Plovers and 2 Wilson's Phalaropes but no Buff-breasted or A. Golden-Plovers. The second trip back in the late afternoon had me scanning with Dominic Sherony. We eventually found 6 A. Golden-Plover and 3 Black-bellied Plover. I missed seeing Red-necked Phalarope and Buff-breasted again, but did see a Eurasian Wigeon. The viewing is so distant and unpredictable that I wouldn't be surprised if the Buff-breasted is still there somewhere.
