After leaving Milford Point, I went across to Stratford Point. A large flock of Semipalmated Sandpipers ( I estimated 1100) flew up from a spot which is just 70 yards or less to the West of the Stratford Point lighthouse. Unfortunately, that spot can't be scoped from the former gun club property, since it is tucked away behind the tip of the point. There were another 300 to 400 Semipalmated Sandpipers along the East side of Stratford Point. Also observed (with Doug Gochfeld from Brooklyn and another gentleman whose name I did not catch) was a Black Tern. Doug said it was a juvenile, although I did not make it out well enough to make that distinction myself. Near the entrance to Long Beach, on the marsh side, there were 13 Willets, 1 of which was a Western Willet. Charlie Barnard Jr. Stratford
