Re: [nysbirds-l] Wood Sandpiper Timber Point Golf Course now Suffolk Co
Congrats to Pat Lindsay on a most excellent find!
The Wood Sandpiper continues intermittently. Patience is required as the bird
disappears for long periods. Do ensure to layer up as it is windy and cold.
The wet spots where the Wood Sandpiper has frequented have been good for other
birds. The turnover include Glossy Ibis’, Short and Long-billed Dowitcher,
Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Dunlins and a Willet that stirred some
discussion on Western vs Eastern.
Review the previous posts on location and where to look.
Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Wood Sandpiper Timber Point Golf Course now Suffolk Co
Hi Sean, As you drive into the golf course, the road bends to the right. A few hundred yards in, there’s a left turn that goes to the east marina. Don’t turn there- continue on toward the large building (catering hall). Just after the marina turnoff, (which you didn’t turn on to!) there will be, on your left, a grassy area with wet spots and behind that, a golf course pond. The bird has been hanging out around the wet spots there. Obviously, for anyone else heading over there- do not walk out onto the grass or golf course areas.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Wood Sandpiper Timber Point Golf Course now Suffolk Co
The Wood Sandpiper continued in the rain pools just east of the Timber Point entrance road (and just south of the spur road to the East Marina) until it was too dark to see. The discovery and identification of this mega rarity was a team effort. I was seawatching at Robert Moses SP when Patricia called me to report an unfamiliar shorebird. Her puzzlement was my cue to race over to join her, along with my seawatching companions Brent Bomkamp and Taylor Sturm. We pulled up, predictably, just after the birds had flushed. While I spoke with Pat and reviewed some distant photos, Brent and Taylor set out to relocate the flock. As I came to the conclusion that it was likely a very rare Wood Sandpiper, they re-found the bird. We re-joined them and exhilaration ensued! The place where we were watching it was not a good, publicly accessible, location, but fortunately the bird soon flew (calling "chip-chip-chip" right over us) and returned to the near-ideal place described above, where it remained as admirers arrived until it was too dark to see.
