Re:[nysbirds-l] Riverhead Shorebirds: Hulse Landing and Doctor's Path, update

[Timothy Healy]

I'm departing from my stakeout now and wanted to make a few amendments to my 
statement. There are several distant, brownish Semipalmated Sandpipers out 
there, and after momentarily being faked out a few times I'm no longer 100% 
that my briefly glimpsed bird was absolutely a Baird's. The Buff-breasts are 
still present and intermittently visible, and a calling Golden-Plover was heard 
overhead. A pair of Peregrines are tussling on the open dirt fields to the 
north. 

Others pointed out that my use of the phrase "main road" may have implied Sound 
Avenue, but I'm referencing the water system and dirt road that intersect 
Doctor's Path just north of the private road for the estates. 

Cheers!
