nice group of shorebirds, but few species. The high light was 50+ RED KNOT,

Hi Steve,
Whenever, I see “hybrid” in any reports I am always tempted to immediately take
a peep. Despite looking at the images from the field on my phone I have to
respectfully disagree with the “presumed” hybrid call on the bird you
referenced.
This to me, is just a Semipalmated Sandpiper
I have posted on New York Birders Facebook page one of my photos of the
immature Brown Booby on Onota Lake in Pittsfied, MA on August 20, 2018
and a photo of an immature Brown Booby taken by Tom Whitney with his
iPhone when it landed on the mast of his sailboat on Long Lake, Hamilton
Co. NY on

There were two different Brown Boobies on Long Island just last year: Nickerson
Beach (Nassau Co., June) and Lake Montauk (Suffolk Co., October) - neither
apparently storm related. As for inland records there was one on Cayuga Lake
just 2 years ago. Most relevantly though, there was an immature
It would be interesting to compare photos of this bird with the one that
was observed on a lake in Western Massachusetts last week.
