A quick lunchtime spin through Jones Beach today revealed limited bird activity.
1 female type Lapland Longspur was on the grass just east of the restroom/refreshment stand at the Coast Guard Station with approx 10 Horned Larks. 1 Long-tailed Duck offered closer-than-usual views in the marina. 1 hunting Merlin and 1 perched Sharpie were seen from Wantagh Pkwy just north of the tower on the way out of the park.
