[nysbirds-l] Wilson's Plover & Golden Plover - No, but 2 consolation prizes instead !

On Tuesday, between 2:30 and ~ 6:00 PM, I looked for the previously reported species, from Cupsogue Co. Pk. to Shinnicock Inlet, without success. I was rewarded for my efforts by finding FOS Boat-tailed Grackles (2) in the marsh along Dune Rd, w/o the Ponquogue Bridge. At the inlet I picked up an i

Hey again, I went back to Cupsogue a little after 1pm with my girlfriend, Stephanie, and could not relocate the Wilson's Plover. Previously, it was interacting with three Piping Plovers in the area that I previously described, as well as roosted occasionally with a small group of Sanderling and Du

The Wilson's Plover is a great find. But I'm even more intrigued by the American Golden Plovers also mentioned as an aside. American Golden Plover is an uncommon migrant in spring on Long Island, and it seems fairly early as well. As there have been ~20 EUROPEAN Golden Plovers reported up in Ne
