Actually there were 3 Whimbrel in the Cedar Beach Creek at low tide this morning, along with 8 of the commoner shorebird species. Much like Cow Meadow (Nassau Co.) was in the past, this seems to be a favored stopover spot for Whimbrel with several present for the past two weeks or so. There were five as recently as Wednesday. Also of local note, there were 9 Royal Terns on the Robbin's Island spit. This number should grow as we move into late summer and early fall. -- Angus Wilson New York City & The Springs, NY, USA
