Jones Beach Coast Guard Sandbar/ Short Beach: Black Bellied Plovers

Stopped by for about a half hour before work - walked around Short Beach and onto the sandbar. Nothing rare but there was a noticeable increase in Black Bellied Plovers.  There were mostly Oystercatchers, along  with Semi Palmated Sandpipers and Plovers, Sanderlings, Ruddy Turnstones, Spotted Sandpipers, singles of Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Black Skimmer and Short Billed Dowitcher.
