This afternoon, I headed toward the C/S/F because of Rich & Nancy Willot's
promising report from that location yesterday. Upon arrival, I found Rick &
Linda Kedengerg, along with Jody Levin, already on the scene. They, in turn,
made me aware of the single golden, plus a # of pectorals and white-rumps they
had been looking at- thanks folks!
After the Kedenbergs left, Jody (via that indispensable birding tool) received
news of a Buff-breasted Sandpiper in Southold, and immediately took off,
hopefully, to see her FOS buffy! Having already seen that specie this fall, I
continued looking awhile, before going on to Horton's La.
Jody, and her source, were gone by the time I arrived, but I did find a work
crew actively harvesting the sod. I took this to be a bad omen, however, it
turned out to be a "plus". In a short while I found a single BBSA, in a group
of ~ 8 Kildeer. I had just found the sandpiper when a noise from the harvesting
operation caused the birds to take off, whereupon I saw a second smaller bird,
which was probably another buffy- thanks Jody & source!
Cheers,Bob
