This morning I worked on the shrubs and plants around our condo and this
afternoon I relaxed at our communal pool. During this whole span of time I
continually checked the internet re: the Elegant Tern. After dinner, at ~
7:15 PM, I nonchalantly checked again, saw Jay McGowan's positive post, and
I asked for input to update and improve the map - You interpreted
that as a license to be obnoxious. Bravo
You don't like google maps? So what? Others ~do~ even when they are
less than optimal.

Shai Mitra and Patricia Lindsay called to report that the Elegant Tern was
seen in the same area as reported late this afternoon by Jay McGowan.
I would suggest that those of you trying for this bird tomorrow to get to
Tiana Beach first thing in the morning as I believe there you need a

The apparent ELEGANT TERN is sitting with a mixed flock of terns and
skimmers on the beach visible close to the east from the Tiana Recreation
Area parking lot on the north side of Dune Road. Markedly smaller than

For people interested in an afternoon update. Eric Miller just called in to
report that the status remains the same as the earlier report on both the

It should be noted that walking out to and from the flats is safest at the
lower parts of the tide cycle, especially if taking the short route and
especially for those unfamiliar with the area. If checking tide charts, use
Moriches Coast Guard Station. Low tide Saturday is at 2:04 and Sunday 2:48.
Hi Arie,
I don't think your Google map annotations are plotted quite right and I am
not savvy enough to modify them. The dredge island that some folk camp on
and is used as a landmark for birders is to the RIGHT of the shallows
you've circled. The flats suitable for birding are SE of this other

note that on weekends the lot will fill up early and you may be
precluded from entry due to lack of parking spots.
best bet is to get there before 8am - check tides too - mostly for
The highlights on the Cupsogue flats today include three Black Terns, at least
four Roseates, and three Arctics. A fly-by Whimbrel also happened (though I
missed it).
Heading east a bit to scope other locations.
Good Birding,

I hope to go after the Red-necked Stint tomorrow, but I am still confused as to
the area dubbed as "the flats" where the bird has been seen at Cupsogue. I have
never been here and any more specific directions within the park would be
greatly appreciated.
