[nysbirds-l] Red-necked Stint questions
I hope to go after the Red-necked Stint tomorrow, but I am still confused as to the area dubbed as "the flats" where the bird has been seen at Cupsogue. I have never been here and any more specific directions within the park would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there a certain tide that this bird is more likely to be seen at? Thank you for any information.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay 7/1
I didn't see the report of the Ruff until I got home, but at the South Marsh near the Osprey Platform on West Pond I saw my target bird, a Gull-billed Tern, at about 9:45 am as it flew by. Also, I'm sure there will be details posted later, but another birder on the trail saw a King Rail in the same area near the Osprey Platform earlier in the morning.

[nysbirds-l] Gull-billeds?
I think I may finally try to get down to Jamaica Bay and Jones Beach this weekend to try for Gull-billed Tern, and I was just wondering if anybody has had any sightings of them at either of these locations in the last week, as there aren't any ebird reports since the 20th and I am hoping they are still around.

[nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest, Rockefeller Park
The Connecticut Young Birders Club took a trip to New York today, specifically to Sterling Forest and Rockefeller State Park. Highlights at Sterling Forest included 5 Golden-winged Warblers, 2 Cerulean Warblers, many Prairie, Black-and-white, Yellow, and Chestnut-sided Warblers, some Scarlet Tanagers, a few Turkey and Black Vultures, as well as an Eastern Towhee. At Rockefeller State Park we found one of the Kentucky Warblers in the same place as previously reported on the Ash Tree Loop by the intersection of the Overlook Trail right where the trail starts to go downhill.

[nysbirds-l] Kentucky Warbler Rockefeller
The male Kentucky Warbler was present and singing his heart out this morning at Rockefeller State Preserve from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. It was located in the same area as previously reported, on Ash Tree Loop by the connector to Sleepy Hollow Road Trail. It was a beautiful bird, but very sluggish and not moving very much. The bird was singing very frequently and loudly, and it was a slightly off song.

[nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest
I had a great time at Sterling Forest today. Although the weather was very threatening, at the Ironwood Drive powerline cut I still managed to see many Prairie Warblers and 3 Golden-winged Warblers. This is a bird I have been trying to see for 3 years, and I am so happy that I finally was able to get here to see them. Although they were pretty elusive, I got spectacular looks at an adult male singing out in the open. Something that I noticed was how I never heard or saw Blue-winged Warblers. I guess that's why the golden-winged are here.

[nysbirds-l] Dovekie Great River
Alex Burdo, James Orrico and I also went to see the Dovekie today. Absolutely astounding looks, sometimes as close as 6 feet away. A lifer for me, as well as my first alcid. I was amazed at how tiny the bird was, which caused me to think how can anyone possibly make out this starling-sized bird on the opean ocean surf??!! By far my new favorite bird! I loved how the bird actually flew underwater. Just an incredible experience.
