Just as an addendum to my last post for thoroughness, there were definitely 3
Brown Pelicans and they were apparently flying southwest.
Good birding and sorry for the double-post!!

Hi all-
I apologize for the vagueness of this report:
My girlfriend's friend, Bridgette Kistinger, sent us a picture she took of a
Brown Pelican at Cedar Beach at about 7:30 pm. She said there were 3 of them
together. I can only attest to one, as she didn't send us a picture of the
group.
Piermont Pier in Rockland County is having a continuing good shorebird season on the heels of the recent American Avocet and Hudsonian Godwit (as well as Royal Tern & Cattle Egret).
7 species today included Sanderling, Ruddy Turnstone & Lesser Yellowlegs. Many peeps & Semi Plovs.

Argh! Say it ain't so. I didn't know about this sad story, I had just
assumed nobody went in there anymore. That place was fantastic.

One superb shorebird spot that disappeared in one day was Oak Beach
Marsh. This was technically-speaking a "seche," a very shallow pan of
rainwater of maybe an acre in extent that gradually dried and was
replenished only when it rained again (or perhaps in a very high
tide). The bottom
Hi Rich and all,
The Line Islands aren't what they used to be. Pat and I visited with John
Zarudsky from the Town of Hempstead on 29 July 2011 (by the way, somebody ought
to call Shane Blodgett and ask him if he remembers that day!) and spent some
very enjoyable time around Egg Island and
Hi Everyone,
I saw the Avocet this morning on the East Pond- was feeding and was putting
on a territorial show for a Snowy Egret. Also saw a Western Sandpiper.
Overall bird numbers were on the lower side when I went but still enough
for a great birding experience.
Good birding,

Hello all New York eBird users,
eBird Records for several counties in downstate New York have recently been
re-run through the improved filters. This returned lots of newly flagged
entries which were entered before the filters were updated (and so did not
trip the filter when they were entered).
The Red-necked Grebe was still present on Aug 1.
