An interesting morning and early afternoon at the Cupsogue flats - as it
should be at the traditional peak time for shorebird migration. 20 species

Hello All, At about 8:30 am I had all 6 of the Marbled Godwits by the
easternmost part of the flats at Cupsogue. Shorebird numbers continue to be
on the low side. There were several Western Willets and Greater Yellowlegs,
the most numerous shorebird being Semi-palmated Plover. Good September
