I hope I am not inundating anyone with too many updates. I just looked up from scoping peeps, to see the Avocets flying off heading east towards the train tracks. Given the tide, they might circle back and settle in on the south end, so check there if you are trying.
I am still on the pond and will post an update if I see them again. Odd, since none of the other shorebird birds picked up and are still feeding comfortably. Plenty to see such as Stilts and Western Sandpiper already seen thus far this morning. Good luck! 風 Swift as the wind 林 Quiet as the forest 火 Conquer like the fire 山 Steady as the mountain Sun Tzu <http://refspace.com/quotes/Sun_Tzu> *The Art of War* <http://refspace.com/quotes/The_Art_of_War> (\__/) (= '.'=) (") _ (") Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!

This is an area south of "Dead Man's or Mud Cove." They could move around once awake, so check carefully others areas if you try for them. See a map here if you are not familiar with the naming conventions of the east pond. http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2013/07/jamaica-bay-shorebird-report-7-11-13.html?m=1 . 風 Swift as the wind 林 Quiet as the forest 火 Conquer like the fire 山 Steady as the mountain Sun Tzu <http://refspace.com/quotes/Sun_Tzu> *The Art of War* <http://refspace.com/quotes/The_Art_of_War> (\__/) (= '.'=) (") _ (") Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
