I just wanted to add some details to the previous postings about the Stint. Today, when I first saw the bird, it was feeding among the Semipalmated Sandpipers west of the main tern loafing flats, between the two patches of marsh grasses at 10:20.  As soon as the crowd had gathered it flew onto

These days my birding is mostly limited to close to home or in the case of Cupsogue, close to my parent's home. Drop off my son, get a lifer, short visit and home again. Alas, different script today. After no success in about an hour (although 4 black terns, 1 royal tern, and at least 1 arctic
