This afternoon I visited Dune Rd. and saw an Osprey feeding just east of the Ponquogue Bridge. This Osprey is likely to be the same male that has bred successfully at the nearby nest for many years now and was waiting the arrival of his partner. Great Egrets were also in decent numbers along Dune Rd. with a count of 5 on a quick pass from Quogue to Hampton Bays. Nothing else of note but that should change soon. Photos of these birds can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/04/early-arrivals-are-fueling-up.html
