Five Red-necked Phalaropes are being seen this morning in the surf zone on Long Island Sound east of Goldsmith’s Inlet, Southold, Suffolk County. A local resident forwarded photos and video showing at least three of the birds which are juveniles. As of this point they are still there. The closest access is probably from a small parking area at Peconic Dunes County Park, on Soundview Avenue between Mill Rd. and Kenny’s Rd. You can walk the path through the woods to the beach. You might also be able to access the area from the parking lot at Goldsmith’s Inlet (I’m not sure if parking is reserved for town residents). --
