On Saturday morning (4/30), at about 0715, at the Rocky Point D/E/C Property, Tom Moran and I had the above, first on the ground in a path about 100' ahead, and then, after it sensed us, as it flew away. Since 5/14/79 ( at "Warbler Woods", Yaphank, Suffolk Co.- one of the" hot-spots" of it's day), this is only the 8th time I've seen this specie on L.I. The last time being on 5/5/09 in Calverton, near the radar station opposite the Grumman Grasslands. Other FOS birds for us at the R/P/D/E/C/ P included Blue-winged Warbler, and Baltimore & Orchard Orioles. At The Nature Conservancy Property on Sound Rd. in Wading River (the old Kemp Estate) we picked up FOS Yellow Warbler & Common Yellowthroat. On the way home, I also had a FOS Lesser Yellowlegs at the farm pond on the s/s of Sound Ave in Baiting Hollow. Cheers, Bob --
