Jones Beach West End 18 Sep The group of approx. 50 COMMON REDPOLLS found yesterday by Ken Feustel were in the same place this morning at the end of the fisherman's trail, although they moved around a bit. They are very skittish. Also, in the area,were a number of HORNED LARKS. The Larks could be heard singing, a sure sign of Spring.
At Pt. Lookout, 3 male and 2 female HARLEQUIN DUCKS continue along with about 40 COMMON EIDER. Some HORNED GREBES, but no loons. Loons in the Jones Beach vicinity have been exceptionally scarce this winter.
