I cycled down to Ft. Tilden this morning hoping to find the Buff-
breasted Sandpipers. Unfortunately, there were some folks playing
soccer and the birds were gone. I did manage to find a consolation
prize, though. I stopped at Dreier-Offerman Park on the way home and
found a pair of Wimbrels foraging on the western-most field (they
seemed to be eating snails). That was at approximately 1:30pm. I just
got off the phone with Heydi Lopes and the birds are still present at
4:20pm. If you go, the main entrance is closed, but there is a
temporary entrance and dirt road about 250 yards passed the main one
(look for the orange cones) that will bring you to the parking area.
Good birding,
