>From Nick Bonomo: 6/10 - Milford, Milford Pt - 10 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS Other numbers:: 185 Semipalmated Sandpipers 1 Dunlin 1 Ruddy Turnstone 1 Short-billed Dowitcher 1 Bonaparte's Gull (first summer) 1 Red-breasted Merganser (drake) As I have not seen any female-type RB Mergs of late, today's drake was a surprise. I've never had an adult male into June. Some great birds are being seen in surrounding states. Over the past couple of days, MA has had Curlew Sandpiper, Franklin's Gull, and 6 Black-necked Stilts, and today Long Island had their first 1st-summer Arctic Tern of the summer. A great time of year to be on the coast. Nick Bonomo Orange, CT
