Ardith Bondi and I spent most of day in the Montauk area. Highlights
included: 2 RED CROSSBILLS (at the airport), a COMMON REDPOLL and 6-8
WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS ( just west of the IGA Market in the village).
A first year Lesser Black-backed Gull on the jetty at the harbor.
At the Point:
A female EVENING GROSBEAK was a first for me in Prospect today, seen
briefly perched above the Binnen Bridge. There did not appear to be
much diurnal movement going on, but other birds included EASTERN
MEADOWLARK, RUSTY BLACKBIRD, and my first of season AMERICAN TREE
SPARROW.

After learning that West End II at Jones Beach was open, I birded the area
this morning. The highlights were several flocks of WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS
that flew overhead with a few PURPLE FINCHES in the mix. Only one flock of
the WW Crossbills touched down very briefly in the pines at the turn
Late this afternoon at Heckscher State Park there was a flock of
approx. thirty Red Crossbills in the pines east of Field 7.

Jones Beach West End 16 Nov
Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) stopped by the Coast Guard Station parking lot,
now open for visitors. No bathrooms open. A "Sandy" high water line in the
concession stand shows the level about two feet. So there was a pretty strong
wash over. The main glass door
I searched for the birds late this afternoon in both pastures, Montauk Airport,
and Rita's Horse Farm. No luck.
If people are out here searching tomorrow, it may be worth searching all of the
fields between East Hampton and Mecox Bay south of Rte 27.

Fellow Subscribers,
I'm new to the list as of yesterday..
In 10 days, I'll be leaving home and spending 4 days in Niagara Falls,
ON. I've birded the Canadian side before but never the US side.
Would it be worthwhile for me to also spend time on the New York side of
the river?
Additionally
By way of information, I have not heard any positive reports from yesterday
or today. Please send word if you can add anything.
Thanks, Angus

Following directions from a birder on this list, I set out this
morning to look for Barred Owls. There were a great number of Blue
Jays on the Great Lawn, and the area west of the lawn and south of the
Pinetum was heavily patrolled by Titmouseen. There I saw the
unmistakable sign of owl
Happy to report, I observed the Virginia"s at 9:30am. I first found it at the
base of the south facing slope towards 76th Ave. in the area known as Nutmeg
Meadow. The bird worked it was up the slope parallel to the trail (trail starts
at metal posts), went into the kettle, but then went back
