This afternoon, I spent ~ 2 hours riding Town of Riverhead roads in search of a Lapland Longspur. Missed it, as well as most of the species that have (because of our recent heavy snow storm) been found feeding along roadsides. It was a quiet day, except for the raptors encountered along the way. In Wading River, a Red-tailed Hawk and 1 Merlin, with 3 other redtails seen while heading east to Jamesport's Iron Pier Beach.The highlight of the day occurred while en-route home, when an adult N.Goshawk flew across Penny's La., Northville.
