The West End had strong numbers of the typical migrant shorebird species this

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) were also at the North End of the East Pond this
morning. It was High Tide when we arrived. We saw a total of 14 species of
shorebirds including the Ruff and Avocet among the estimated 3,000 to 4,000
shorebirds. The early morning sun was a

with much more brightly colored legs than the individual he photographed
back on the 15th.

Looks like Ken's photographed bird has a pronounced white ring around the
base of its bill. Andrew's and my photos (Andrew's are much better) are not
showing such a pronounced ring. Perhaps my eyes are decieving me, lighting

Sue and I birded the East Pond at JBWR this morning, starting at the south end

better at the north end of the pond, where we quickly saw the American Avocet.

The Ruff/Reeve reported this morning by Derek Rogers from the East Pond at
Jamaica Bay, is very likely the 4th Ruff this year for the East Pond.

On 7/20 at 8:45am, two common ravens were seen and heard on Dundee Avenue in
the Argyle Park section of Babylon. The birds vocalized frequently and stayed
around for about 15 minutes, mobbed by jays. They then flew north over the
south shore railroad line and out of sight.

There was a Reeve, presumably the previously reported bird, located at the
north end of East Pond as I made my exit. The Avocet also continues just
outside of Dead Man's Cove. Earlier, A single Red Knot was hanging with the
dows on the exposed mud just north of Dead Mans. Several suspects but
