Hi everyone, As of 11 AM, extensive searching had not produced the dove since the original flyby at 8:45. It seemed to land near the beginning of the fisherman's road, but shrubs blocked my view of its final descent. The spot I imagined was: 40.589385, -73.557984 Shorebirds and warblers around the Coast Guard Area were unremarkable save for a Bay-breasted Warbler, singing very infrequently in shrubs just west of the Coast Guard Station property itself. A Willow Flycatcher was at the turnaround. Numbers were very low otherwise. At Hempstead Lake SP this morning, a Black-billed Cuckoo continues, today heard between the field 3 lot and MacDonald Pond to the east.
