[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Coast Guard area: Clapper Rails

2015-08-06 Thread Robert Taylor
Not much at low tide from sunrise to 7am- only a few dozen shorebirds including semi palmated sandpipers and plovers, and 2 spotted sandpipers. Saw 10 Great Egrets and a Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, and a Clapper Rail. Recommend the sandbar as a reliable spot in the early am to find Clapper
