Hempstead Lake SP 13 Apr A visit this morning (they are now charging on weekends to enter) was mostly a continuation of the last few days. Warblers included PINE, PALM and YELLOW-RUMPED. A BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER made an appearance along with multiple TREE and BARN SWALLOWS and a lone CHIMNEY SWIFT.
Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside 13 Apr Birding is slowly beginning to pick up (now open on Sundays till late Fall). No Night-Herons seen today, but plenty of GREAT and SNOWY EGRETS with an adult LITTLE BLUE HERON. A CLAPPER RAIL was in a cut. A LEAST SANDPIPER and lots of GREATER YELLOWLEGS made up the shorebird contingent. In the channel a FOS FORSTER'S TERN flew by.
