I spent a few hours early this morning birding at Cupsogue County Park in Westhampton Dunes on an incoming tide. Shorebirds were not plentiful in either number or variety. Highlights included four Whimbrel that flew in from the east, stayed briefly on the far flat, then continued their journey west. Terns included seventeen Royal and two Black Terns. At Pike's Beach there were ten Royal Terns and a single Caspian Tern.
