Re: [nysbirds-l] South Fork LI: A little more information on the Montauk Lapwings

That bird was in Mercer County NJ. The confusion probably arises because the nearest town (Allentown) is in Monmouth. The bird was not seen since the original sighting and wasn't evident on checking the most likely areas around Allentown on Saturday morning - but there's a great deal of habitat in
