Hi Everyone, I stopped by the Jones Beach West End today - lots of Robins, Starlings, and Red-winged Blackbirds. There were a decent amount of Flickers and 4 Killdeer were in the median by the booth. Also saw 2 Phoebes. At the Coast Guard Station, there were at least 6 Horned Grebes - some with great plumage. Common Loons and Long Tailed Ducks were still present. By the Coast Guard gates, a group of ~10 Cedar Waxwings landed in the trees.
At Massapequa Preserve, there wasn't anything notable besides the usual suspects. Saw a pair of Brown Headed Cowbirds there and a pair has been hanging out by the bird feeder in my yard all day. Good birding, Rob in Massapequa http://longislandbirding.blogspot.com/ -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
