A juvenile *BAIRD'S SANDPIPER* found this morning by John Shemilt on the flats at Mecox Bay Inet (Watermill, Suffolk Co.) was still present early afternoon, along with 3 *LESSER BLACK BACKED GULLS* (adult, 3rd yr and juvenile) and 2 *ROYAL TERNS*. In Napeague, *'LARRY' the LESSER BLACK-BACK GULL* has returned to its usual spot at Lazy Point and will presumably winter again. Further east at the Theodore Roosevelt County Park in Montauk, a juvenile *BLUE GROSBEAK* was in the weeds of the overgrown pond to the right of the entrance. A roving flock of vireos and wood-warblers in Camp Hero State Park included *CAPE MAY*, *TENNESSEE* and *BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS* among the commoner species. Lastly, small numbers of all three scoter species are beginning to filter into the area and a brief seawatch from Montauk Village produced a couple of *MANX SHEARWATERS* feeding offshore with gannets. -- Angus Wilson New York City & The Springs, NY, USA
