Sullivan County's streak of great birds continued today. After work this afternoon, I found a juvenile BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER at Morningside Park! This is only the second record for the county (4 birds Swinging Bridge fall '05). This brings the shorebird total to 17 species thus far this year for the county. We haven't had numbers like this since Swinging Bridge. Also present were Killdeer, Semi-palmated Plover, Least Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs. Arlene Borko, Scott Baldinger, Renee Davis and Ruth Shursky were all able to arrive and see the bird during the two hours that it was in and out of view. At 6:30 pm the birds all flushed and I was unable to relocate it after that time. John Haas
