I spent 2.5 hours birding Mecox Inlet (Suffolk County) this gray, drizzly

Regarding alternate shorebird stations:
Does anyone check the Line Islands anymore? Years ago they were super
productive this time of year.

Late this morning I visited Sunken Meadow State Park at low tide to check out
the shorebird situation on the exposed flats of the upper creek, west of the

about 3-4 miles southwest of Albion. The bird was on the south side of the
