While a little off the point, I wanted to let "grasspiper" enthusiasts know that the sod farm where the buff breasted sandpipers are being seen has been preserved by Suffolk County through their purchase of development rights program. This means the owner can keep farming the property to grow sod or other crops, but he can never develop it. A tiny bit of good news on the shorebird habitat preservation front.
