Ed Hack and George Clark found a pair of Northern Pintails this
morning in the coves near Pompy Farms along Rt. 5. I checked the area
around 3 today and couldn't find them, but spent enough time looking
that I got to see a flyby flock of shorebirds; 4 Greater Yellowlegs
and a Pectoral Sandpiper. They were last seen headed south from the
coves around 3:30.
