My wife Betsy and I had some great birds in the Montauk area:
Adult male King Eider- seen very well from the Camp Hero overlook close to
the lighthouse.
American Pipit- parking lot Camp hero
50,000 scoters and eiders- Montauk Point
Snowy Owl- heavily barred, Hicks Island easily
The CACKLING GOOSE is currently on Alley Pond (by the LIE- Cross Island
interchange). If you're thinking of looking today, note that the lighting

Doug Gochfeld just called to report a Lark Sparrow at Floyd Bennett field
in Brooklyn. The bird is currently being viewed on the berm to the east of
the cricket field. This field is just north of the aviator sports complex
along Flatbush Avenue.

It was a fun day even if the ride back was rough. The one very cooperative
