There have been at least 3 Red-necked Phalaropes, (Not Red) have been seen all this morning and currently just off the beach between Kenny’s Beach in Southold and as far west as Peconic Dunes Camp. You can access the beach from Kenny’s or from Soundview Dunes County Park just west of their location. Soundview Dunes , known as Bittner’s to us locals, is located along Soundview Ave about half way between Kenny’s and Goldsmith’s Inlet.
These birds are not shy as you can get within ten feet of them as you walk along the shore. A few more photos to follow. rk IMG_9719 IMG_9715 IMG_9712 -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
