[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach, 10/10/10
To add to Ken's Jones Beach Report: I had an Eastern Meadowlark at the Coast Guard Station fence (seen also feeding on the grass by 2 birders), plus Savannah, Field, and Chipping Sparrows in addition to the White-throated, White-crowned, and Song. There was one Snow Goose at the swale, and a female Wood Duck walking on the sidewalk on the island in the West End 2 parking lot (after being flushed from the swale by Steve Walter). Raptors were scarce, with only a Northern Harrier and a Merlin. And, there are still mosquitos at the Coast Guard Station!
