Inspired by Pat Lindsay's success there yesterday, I spent ~1 hour
(10:15-11:20) this morning watching the ocean off Field 2 at Robert Moses State

In the same vein, 2-3 winters ago I observed American Wigeon on Massapequa Lake
closely following feeding American Coot. The Wigeon were picking up aquatic

west of the parking lot. I walked the entire eastern side of the field, but
stayed mostly near the newly plowed section. Thankfully
A juvenile Baird's Sandpiper (presumably the same bird reported here Wed. &
Thur.) made a brief appearance (< 2 minutes) in the puddles of parking field #7
