Jamaica Bay WR 2 Aug Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) were also at the North End of the East Pond this morning. It was High Tide when we arrived. We saw a total of 14 species of shorebirds including the Ruff and Avocet among the estimated 3,000 to 4,000 shorebirds. The early morning sun was a problem moving south, but viewing was better as we retraced our steps north.
Water level leaves abundant areas for the birds. Mud is still 1-2 inches in spots except going around the cove where it is more. Standard hiking boots should be fine.
