Re: [nysbirds-l] Golden plovers and whimbrel in queens

[Steve Walter]

With all that having been said, the Whimbrel show has gotten even more
amazing. In the late morning today, at high tide, there were 25 roosting on
the high beach between the two buildings of the Silver Gull Club. It's a
fairly short walk from the fisherman's lot, but yeah there's that parking
issue.

If you have a plan regarding parking, keep in mind that a nice weather
weekend is coming, and expect lots of beach goers. Going early is a good
idea. It's possible the high tide roost may work at midday - if no Silver
Gull maintenance people are doing anything - which ultimately led to the
Whimbrels scattering westward today.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Golden plovers and whimbrel in queens

[Linda LaBella]

I did see at least one Golden Plover amongst the peeps and one Whimbrel by
itself a little west of the Parking lot on the beach about 45min ago.

Best,
Linda

Re: [nysbirds-l] Golden plovers and whimbrel in queens

[Andrew Baksh]

Thanks for the report Jennifer.

PSA: I just want to caution folks who might be looking to try for those
birds about the parking situation. That fisherman's parking lot now
requires a parking permit. Vehicles have been known to be ticketed in the
past and on Sunday when Steve Walter and I had packed in our Hawk Count for
the day, I received intel that the Parks Police had later arrived and were
ticketing non compliance vehicles.

A couple of alternative approaches would be (A) Park in Fort Tilden proper
and walk down towards the area where these birds have been reported. (B)
Take turns in visiting the birds. Meaning, some birders have taken turns
with someone manning their vehicle in the Fisherman's Lot while others
would get their looks/tick and then swap places.

Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Golden plovers and whimbrel in queens

[Gabriel Willow]

Following up on Jen’s (and Kestrel’s!) finds, I walked East a ways and found 
nothing aside from a bunch of Sanderling and a few American Oystercatchers.

To the west, by the Silver Gull Club, I found 25 roosting Whimbrel but no 
Golden-Plovers. A handful of Ruddy Turnstones and a Western Sandpiper with some 
Sanderlings as well.

There was a Peregrine strafing the beach so it may have scared off the Plovers.

Good birding,

Gabriel

[nysbirds-l] Golden plovers and whimbrel in queens

[Jennifer Kepler]

We had two golden plover (juv plumage) and about 9 whimbrel east of the
fisherman’s lot at Ft Tilden in queens about two hours ago. Some off leash
dogs arrived and I hear the birds were no longer in that direction, but
folks may have better luck east of the lot to find them. Perhaps they will
chime in and provide an update.
Lifer golden plover and whimbrel for my 1.5 year old 😅
Happy birding,
Jen & Kestrel
