I posted a picture at http://www.stevewalternature.com/ . Strange day at Jamaica Bay. The only non-shorebird migrants I ran into were the two cuckoos, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, and a Common Nighthawk. Maybe I shouldn't let it be known, but the shorebirds were actually enjoying the current configuration of the breach and surrounding flats. Mostly Semipalmated Sandpipers and Dunlin, but also Ruddy Turnstone, Red Knot, Semi Plover and Black-bellied Plover.
