While banding Spotted Sandpipers back in the 70's, I had one jump into the water, swim away, then dive. I could see it "flying" underwater. I pulled back since I didn't want it to become bass bait. It came ashore OK. Rich Guthrie New Baltimore New York gael...@capital.net On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 a

[nysbirds-l] Buff-breasted Sandpiper @ Riverhead Sod Farms

Today, at 9:15a, I checked out the sod farms at Riverhead for my first time.
