[nysbirds-l] Baird's Sandpiper - Albion, Orleans County

Andy Guthrie just phoned to report an adult BAIRD'S SANDPIPER on Rt 31A about 3-4 miles southwest of Albion. The bird was on the south side of the road with a Killdeer and a couple other shorebirds and a juvenile BONAPARTE'S GULL. This is near where Longbridge Road ends at Rt 31A and west of

[nysbirds-l] Sunken Meadow shorebirds

Late this morning I visited Sunken Meadow State Park at low tide to check out the shorebird situation on the exposed flats of the upper creek, west of the entrance road bridge. I found a modest mix of 6 species, dominated by ~400 Semipalmated Sandpipers. The other 5 species were Least Sandpiper

[nysbirds-l] Randalls Island

Nothing exotic. Hundreds of fledgelings - Starlings, Mourning Doves, Robins, Canadian Geese, and King Birds. Large group of Ring-billed Gulls with a smattering of Herring and Laughing in the north ballfields, empty of people due to morning rains. The only oddity I had was a Palm Warbler,

[nysbirds-l] Central Park NYC Bird Walk on Sunday August 3, 2014

Central Park NYC Bird Walk on Sunday August 3, 2014 Just the highlights of a walk around the Ramble: Yellow Warbler - 6 on the walk including an adult male, but mostly immatures, more later in the day American Redstart - 7 including 2 adult males Northern Waterthrush - continues at Azalea Pond

The Line Islands are inaccessible except by boat. I don't know of any local birder's who own a boat capable of making the trip. None of the boat rental businesses in the area (e.g. Pop's) still exist. I checked it out last year. Peter Post NYC Sent from my iPhone On Aug 3, 2014, at 8:13 PM,

[nysbirds-l] Mecox Inlet (Suffolk County), August 3rd

I spent 2.5 hours birding Mecox Inlet (Suffolk County) this gray, drizzly morning, and, as Hugh said earlier this week, shorebird numbers have increased. I also saw more terns, both in species and numbers than I have all summer: Common, Forster's, Least, and one BLACK TERN. The 11 shorebird
