Early this morning we stopped at Jones Beach Golf Course and Zach's Bay, where the previously reported Black-necked Stilt was a no-show. We then headed out east to Mecox Inlet arriving at 9:00AM. After a little scanning, we came upon the two Wilson's Phalaropes careening around the sand flats. Also present with the shorebird contingent on the flats were six breeding-plumaged White-rumped Sandpipers. We drove back west along Dune Road but did not turn up anything noteworthy.
