Re: [nysbirds-l] 16 Buff-breasted Sandpipers, 2 Baird's ++, Riverhead, Sound Ave.
A highly unusual juvenile sandpiper species is currently being viewed at this location by MOB. The closest fit is SPOONBILLED SANDPIPER based on the odd bill shape, however the color of the bill is not entirely black. The chances of it being this species is beyond incredibly rare, but a definitive ID is still open for debate. Some pics are being taken but more are welcome to help nail this one down. First observed at 11:40 and still being seen by about 15 birders at the same location Derek referenced earlier. Good luck if you go.
