With considerable chagrin, I have to say that my reported Buff-breasted
Sandpiper may have been the Baird's that Eileen Schwinn and Mike Higgiston
reported from the same place. My bird was very distant, through thermal
distortion, and I based my ID more on its foraging behavior than on
morphology.
In a more extended day of shorebirdig than I had intended, I began at 7:45
at Cupsogue County Park, where I encountered Dick Belanger. From the end of
the path that leads from the 4WD track west of the parking lot, we spent
over an hour scrutinizing the birds on the exposed, fairly distant sand/mud
Currently being seen -3:45pm - west of Route 105, north of Northville Turnpike.
Alone, in the field, visible from red fire hydrant, and Rt 43 Sign (southern
portion of the sod field)

I didn't see this forwarded here, but the Champlain Brown Booby was refound
this morning in Willsboro, NY, about 25 miles north of where it was first
reported.

Of potential interest to all birders world-wide and perhaps some
in our state & region who have enjoyed their migration recently:
