Jim Ash found an adult CURLEW SANDPIPER on the far west side of the bay side flats at Mecox Inlet this morning.
The bird remained on site when I left around 10:30 AM. While the bird is transitioning to basic plumage it is still retaining quite a bit of color and can be easily picked out among the peeps in which it is associating with. *** Parking will likely be an issue for non Southampton Town residents. Traffic Control was out and about when I left the site. I never directly crossed paths with any Law Enforcement officials but it doesn't hurt to explain the situation to these folks prior to entering the beach.
