Adult Baird's Sandpiper continues as previously reported in the easternmost pond. At first I re-found it along the phragmites line at the far southwestern edge of the dried pond. It then flew into the grassy area connecting the aforementioned easternmost pond with the next pond to the west. Seen well between 2:00-3:30. When I left, it had returned to where I had originally found it.

It is partially molting, and an excellent find, as this plumage is rarely seen here (never before by me). At the Coast Guard Station sandbar was a group of shorebirds highlighted by a couple of RedKnots, at least 1 in breeding plumage, and 1 Western Willet. In the WE2 parking lot on the southeastern side there were 14 Lesser Black-backed Gulls in a variety of plumages between 1st and 3rd summer. This number had dropped to 4 when we left around 9:30 -- NYSbirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
