Today, I birded two tide cycles at Cupsogue LI, checking the area where the Red-necked Stint was reported yesterday, but came up empty.
The conditions were dismal for birding with heavy fog engulfing the area for most of the morning. I had a hint of what the visibility would look like when I stopped at Pikes Beach and could not even see the spit that is normally seen from the viewing platform. Despite the fog, I did venture out onto the flats during low tide, with the hope that the fog would subside. However, it did not and after it seemed to be thickening, I abandoned the flats since I could barely make out what was ahead of me. The best birds I had on the flats were two adult Roseate Terns. Good Birding!
