[nysbirds-l] Riverhead Sod Fields, Suffolk Co.
A quick survey, of most of the above, came up empty, however, I did pick up a Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Solitary Sandpipers and 2 Least Sandpipers, while managing to miss the normally plentiful Kildeer! All 3 species mentioned were found at a wet area on Penny La. in Northville. I also had my dessert early last night, as we headed toward Wading River with another couple for dinner, when a lone Turkey Vulture appeared over the Friars Head Farm in Baiting Hollow!

Thanks to Eileen Schwinn I saw my FOS A. Golden Plover today! She called earlier re: the 1 golden she found ( which grew to 3 before I left) in the sod field on the n/s of Northville Tpke, between Route 105 & Doctors Path-this is directly opposite an "old potato barn",which has had the dirt insulation removed from it's sides, by the current owners (or tenants).This type of insulation helped keep the potatoes from freezing during a "hard" winter, when, because of low potato prices, the farmers deceided to store their crop in hope of higher prices in the spring. Found also in the same field were 37 Kildeers and 3 "peeps", which I took to be leasts.
