This afternoon I opted for checking the sod farms again, starting at Doctors Path, Riverhead, and ending with the fields on Main Rd. (Rt.25) Peconic. All told, I looked over 11 of them, without seeing 1 shorebird...yes, that is correct, not even a single Killdeer !
On Oregon Rd., Cutchogue, I found Mathews Cashman and his wife out for a little birding, with dinner to follow. Checking the fields on Bridge La., Cutchogue (where the 1st of the season (for the North Fork) A.Golden Plover was found by John Wittenberg ~ a week ago, we found 3 Red-tailed Hawks, a Merlin and a Peregrine Falcon. Before meeting the Cashman's, I had one Turkey Vulture (Lonesome George ?) farther w/on Oregon Rd.
