Hampton Bays, NY >From Ponquogue bridge and west: Sunday afternoon around 3:30 pm the Virginia Rail was very active on Dune Road at the first road-side water on the north side of the road just west of Triton Lane. Pardon the tardiness of this post.
Plenty of Harriers, a Kingfisher, medium raft of Goldeneye, but a lot of hunters which twice sent what I was looking at into flight. No signs of the bittern but probably there keeping a low profile.
