Responding to Gail Benson & Tom Burke's posting of 4/23, I spent ~ 2 hours on Dune Rd, Hampton Bays today looking for the Wilson's Plover, which they had found in a flock of Dunlins, just w/o the Ponquogue Bridge. I found John Gluth on the scene, and while we didn't find *Charadrius wilsonia, *John did point out the Semipalmated Sandpiper and Piping Plover he had found (both year birds for me). After exchanging phone #'s, we split up, with me checking for the plover from Lane Island (just west of the Ponquogue Bridge) east to the Shinnicock Canal, finding 5 Piping Plovers along that stretch of the bay !
