Around 5:30 PM I visited Swan River Preserve in East Patchogue and spent a good amount of time sitting adjacent to the spillway that enters the river on the south side. I observed the following birds there:
Baltime Oriole Grey Catbird Cardinal Song Sparrow Common Grackle Black and White Warbler Yellow Warbler Female Common Yellowthroat Warbler American Goldfinch were feeding on Thistle that is just going to seed (should be increased numbers of birds over the next week) and a Spotted Sandpiper was in the river on the east side of the property. There was a flyover from Osprey, DC Cormorant and a variety of gulls and several mallards were within the ponds. -- - Luke Ormand Instagram: @JrookPhotos <https://www.instagram.com/jrookphotos/?hl=en> Website: Luke Ormand and & JRookPhotos <http://www.lukeormand.zenfolio.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/ --
