Thanks everyone for a wonderful day birding at Jamaica Bay. I had a terrific time and hope you did as well.

I shared the trip report with those of you on eBird- https://ebird.org/tripreport/73323

If you don't have it, or the checklists, please let me know. 

Hope to see you around soon!

Hi Peter,

It was a very beautiful day out on the pond yesterday, with a good number of shorebirds and a nice breeze. The water level is very low, so we really only needed sneakers to get around. The only party-pooper was the Peregrine, who flushed the birds completely out of the northern end when we were just getting to the best area...and once again later moving them back to the northern end..!

But that being said, we still had a good number of species seen well. Highlights included many White-rumped Sandpipers, most very close, Hudsonian (and distant then gone Marbled) Godwits, Pectoral Sandpiper, Bonaparte's Gull and lots of time to study all of the regulars including one leucistic semipalmated sp.

Here's the list. I'll send some photos to the group later and will cc you for as many as you'd like to use.

And thanks very much to Bobbi for handling all of the reservations, cancellations, rebookings and more rebookings, all while navigating the swamps of our southern frontier.

Best regards,

Tom
