It was a very good day along the lake, despite the wild weather (perhaps because of it). Betsy and I tallied 20 species of warblers with lots of individuals, including 14 species in our yard. The Chat was at Wilson-Tuscarora SP. To try for this bird, take the main entrance road to the parking

[nysbirds-l] Wilson's Plover @Jones Beach West End...

I found a Wilson's Plover this afternoon on the spit at the Coast Guard Station. Subsequently, the bird took off with the flock of Semipalmated Plovers it was in company with. Luckily, I was able to relocate it in front of the concession stand by the swale. I'll have digiscopings shots posted
