[nysbirds-l] Pectoral Show Along Sound Avenue, Riverhead, Sept. 7th
Hello All, Dick Belanger and I checked the sod field just west of Route 105 early this morning and were thrilled to see so many Pectoral Sandpipers in evidence,[ sixteen]. They even outnumbered the Buffies,[ we found nine]. We also had a," first year," Peregrine that put down briefly a little to the east side of the field. It showed no intent on our flock. A single White rumped Sandpiper and a few Bairds and Semipalmated's rounded out the group. Bob Adamo soon arrived and Diana Teta and friend. The bulk of these birds were first in the extreme western corner of the big expanse. Then 2 different farm tractors appeared and that spread the birds across our whole view. They moved in ever closer to a very busy Sound Ave., but this allowed for superb viewing as we all stood on a slight rise across the road. We then drove south to the field at Eastport Manorville Rd., where we had 2 American Golden Plovers amongst a group of 38 Black Bellied Plover.
