I just want to say that this is a wonderfully helpful map! Thanks Arie!
My first time birding the area was Sunday June 30th and thanks to the help of local birders, experienced in the area, I (along with many others) saw the Red-necked Stint in a location that, I believe, was to the east of that shaded gray area around here: 40.77732, -72.73604 I was viewing the bird from shore here: 40.77474, -72.73659 At the tide levels we traveled to and from, getting to this above location required a minimal of wading in the water to get to when accessed from the permit only parking area (but not zero wading!) and was about 900 ft from the bird (Digiscoped photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffamy/ ). To get the very nice looks that people were enjoying on that day required some real wading, chest high on some folks. I just thought I would throw that out so people weren't surprised and could be well prepared for the various possibilites.

I have never been here and any more specific directions within the park would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there a certain tide that this bird is more likely to be seen at? Thank you for any information.
