Nickerson Beach, Nassau Co, NY 4 September Whereas Wednesday, the beach was covered with shorebirds in and around tidal pools, today, except for Sanderlings and a few Oystercatchers, the beaches were barren except for a single BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER (the 4-500 Skimmers were also gone this morning). The Buff-breast was foraging along the wrack line and has apparently been there for the last three days. The bird is located to the west of the entrance of the parking lot and is remarkably tame..
