[nysbirds-l] Am. Golden Plovers - Riverhead
The 3 American Golden Plovers were seen this morning at about 9:30 am in the same location, in the sod field just west of Cross River Drive (105), south of Sound Avenue. On a side note, the Heckscher SP Buff-breasted Sandpiper was seen yesterday at 6:45 pm in the median at the south east end of the park. Patrick F.

Doug Gochfeld and I spent some time both mornings, from Fort Tilden, Queens and Fire Island, Suffolk, yielding some interesting comparisons. Typical migrants of the season that were conspicuous at both sites included Eastern Kingbird, various swallows, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Cedar Waxwing, Northern Waterthrush, Yellow Warbler, American Redstart, Black-and-white Warbler, Red-winged Blackbird, and Bobolink. Most notable in my opinion was the definite presence of several species normally scarce at this season on the barrier beach, which, collectively, often foretell broader irruptions of northern forest-breeding species: Downy Woodpecker (both sites), Myrtle Warbler (FT), and Purple Finch (RMSP).
