Dune Road yesterday. Nothing like Pike's Beach on Monday (see pictures below) but there were many Ruddy Turnstones accompanied by a handful of Red Knots plus at least three shorebirds that were not seen on Monday: Black-bellied Plover, Killdeer and Least Sandpiper (exactly one of each).
Tonight, Wednesday, from 6-7 pm, I'm doing a program on Birding by Ear at the Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Center (Schaffner House) 1061 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike, sponsored by the Southampton Community Preservation Department and Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt. [As many readers of this blog will know, I'm a composer and am very interested in the issues of birdsong and birding by ear.]
