Thirteen birders went to Oyster Bay on a falling tide for shorebirds. The Bay was quite active and we saw 30 species including 10 species of shorebirds. Highlights included good looks at many Least and Western Sandpipers, Lesser Yellowlegs and Long-billed Dowitchers. We also had an Osprey overflight as we were departing.
