[nysbirds-l] Red Phalarope

The Red Phalarope was not in the pond in front of the blind (the only one I checked) at 5:30 pm today. There were only about 10 sandpipers and 1 Killdeer in the whole area...Martin Carney -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

I haven't checked this year, but usually there are lots of juvenile Fowler's toads in the sandy areas near the fishermen's parking area past the Coast Guard station. Never have figured out where the freshwater was over there. On 7/22/15, Rick wrote: > Yes, last weekend in dunes, somewhat near

I (John Laver), Nancy O'Keefe & Barbara Saunders observed a dozen or so Fowlers Toads at various points around the TRNC at Jones Beach West End last weekend. I thought I saw the rear end of a fox fleeing from my approach, as I hiked out to observe the Red Phalarope last Sunday - but I can't
