Hi all, I am quite new to the area, having just moved to Babylon, Long Island with my girlfriend (from England). I was wondering if someone could share some experience with regards to storms such Sandy and their potential to produce seabirds in this area. Specifically, where are the best places to look from, the sorts of species which are most likely to be pushed here at this time of year and when to be out (do birds move ahead of such storms?) taking safety into consideration. I would be very grateful for any advice.
Highlights from Southards Pond Park in Babylon today included 1 Nashville Warbler, 1 Orange-crowned Warbler, 1 Common Yellowthroat, 1 Blackpoll Warbler and 2 Blue-headed Vireos.
