Jones Beach pools between Nature Center and West End #2. About an hour after Dave left, the Baird's put in a brief appearance and was almost immediately spooked by the "resident" Peregrine Falcon which was active the entire morning. After this latest pass, the birds returned again, but no Baird's. Most of us missed it. However, it's still around.
Note for those who want to visit: The east most viewing spot is approx. mid way between the Nature Center and West End #2. Therefore it's better to start at WE#2 and walk east checking the ponds and flats as you go. Much less of a hassle before you can start birding .Unfortunately, the viewing is into he sun, so the best viewing is looking back and as you return to WE#2. As for walking, there are no defined paths. The best thing is to follow the footprints from the SE corner of the lot which have begun to form a new path through the dunes and through some places in the phragmites.
