Hello Sy- Could you post this to the NY Birding list for me....thanks.
Jones Beach State Park Sat. 11/26:
There was a late season common egret east of the fishing piers on the
bayside of Jones Beach State Park (Parking Field 10) a little before
4pm today (Saturday). It was subsequently also seen by Paul and Martha
Horman.
This was in addition to several nice looks at the ash throated
flycatcher along the fishermen's road at the previously noted location
around 12:30PM or so. After roosting in a small tree it flew off to
the east, one of the other birders present said "it looked like it
was heading back to the Coast Guard Station". I did not linger in the
area so I cant comment further on that.
FYI- for anybody interested in late season butterflies there were
several orange sulphurs nectaring on the dandelions in the fenced in
yard of the Coast Guard Station.
