I'm currently viewing 37 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVERS in the sod field that runs
along the west side of CR-105, located between Sound Ave. and Northville
Turnpike. 5 Black-bellied Plovers just landed in to join the group.
Other than this, the surrounding area was relatively quiet.

There was a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT at Calvert Vaux Park today. The
morning rain brought down some shorebirds, Kingbirds, and BOBOLINKS,
as well as a PURPLE MARTIN. I suppose the martins are in the area

weather-driven.

This morning, while waiting for the rain to clear, a very brightly colored
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT put a brief appearance outside my den window. (A first
time yard bird).

median of the park loop road, immediately across from parking field 7. The
adult bird present since at least Wednesday has been joined by a crisply
plumaged juvenile. Both birds are fairly confiding, and if one uses their

It appears that the juvenile Franklin's Gull was not seen at the piers in

looked until mid afternoon.

The East End of Long Island (Suffolk Co) saw near-continuous rain
throughout the morning, heavy at times but with little in the way of wind,
there was no seabird flight on the ocean. A 1-hour watch from Main Beach in
East Hampton logged 12 BLACK TERNS all headed west and a lone NORTHERN

Echoing Angus Wilson's report, my one-hour sea watch (7:15-8:15) this

Following John Gluth's postings I shot out to Heckscher State Park again

For me, today represented a seasonal shift. It was a real late summer/early
