Re: [nysbirds-l] Cupsogue Beach Park yesterday

It was a beautiful morning and high tide was about 11:00am.  I was there from 
about 8:30 to 11:00.
Many Common Terns, around a dozen Forster's, two Roseates.  No Arctic, though 
there was one bird that gave me pause and had some features of Portlandica.  I 
suspect it was a Common. I'll post some photos on the New York Birders facebook 
page.
Someone posted here about visiting "mussel beds" and walking northwest from 
where the path ends at the shore.  I don't see how that would be possible.  
Isn't a boat necessary for going northwest?

Very few shorebirds and Least Terns (about 12 on the east side of the cut). 
Guess the Leasts are all at Sagg!
