[nysbirds-l] Common Redpolls at Jones Beach
Barb Saunders and I (Ardith Bondi) found about a dozen Common Redpolls foraging in the median across from the entrance to the Coast Guard Station. They were accompanied by several Red-breasted Nuthatches. Otherwise, a scarcity of birds. Someone reported having seen American Pipit, but we did not. There were a few Yellow-rumped Warblers, lots of Starlings and Red-winged Blackbirds, and a couple of Song Sparrows. We stopped at Field 10 where there were several Ruddy Turnstones picking at whatever was growing on the dock pilings. In the water, were a few Red-breasted Mergansers, a smattering of Brant and Canada Geese. One Common Loon was feeding not too far out from the dock. We did pass quite a few American Crows, but even the gulls were mostly MIA.
