I was surprised to see a 1st Summer Glaucous Gull at Mecox Inlet, Suffolk
County, this morning. There are some May dates for this bird on Long Island

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

It was great to get back to Mecox Inlet, my first visit of the summer. The

Early this morning we stopped at Jones Beach Golf Course and Zach's Bay, where
the previously reported Black-necked Stilt was a no-show. We then headed out
east to Mecox Inlet arriving at 9:00AM. After a little scanning, we came upon
the two Wilson's Phalaropes careening around the sand flats.

Two Black Terns at Mecox Inlet early this morning, one adult in breeding
plummage and one immature. Bad photos later today on my Flickr site.
