Re: [nysbirds-l] Common Greenshank Info
For those of us getting a later start, could you all on the scene let us know if the bird does in fact leave when golfers arrive?

Shane Blodgett reports that the bird is present, at 5:55 EDT.

The favored puddles are immediately east of the parking lot, south of a water hazard, and northeast of the main building (the same puddles favored by last spring's Wood Sandpiper).

Re: [nysbirds-l] Common Greenshank Info
Just to add to Shai’s post regarding the directions to the Greenshank, please do not, for any reason, walk out into the golf course. If the bird is present, birding from the edge of the roadway provides excellent visibility and will keep disturbance of the bird and of the golfers and park personnel to a minimum.
