This morning Bobby Rosetti and I met some of the brooklyn crew at Cupsogue park
around 7:30. We left on the rising tide around 10:30.
Highlights were the Hudsonian Godwit, first on the island just east of the
inlet, later on the flats further west. The Brooklyn crew found a Wilson's
Phalarope in faded breeding plumage, relatively unconcerned about the
helicopter spraying and scaring the other birds. There was also a breeding
plumage Black Tern, 2 Roseates, Skimmers, a common Eider, 2 Black Scoters(not
seen by me), and on the ocean were a couple of Wilson's Storm-Petrels. Other
shorebirds included SB Dowitcher, Red Knot, Piping, Semipalmated, and BB
Plovers, Ruddy Turnstone, Gr Yellowlegs, Least & Semipalmated sandpipers,
Willet, & Oystercatcher
