Yesterday afternoon around 5:15 I had an immature NORTHERN GOSHAWK at Jones Beach at the southeastern most portion of West End 2. The bird remained perched in a shrub before landing atop a dune where is proceeded to dive south after a small flock of horned larks. The bird did not reappear. Also in the vicinity was a dark phase rough-legged hawk (on ocean parkway, west of the needle, aforementioned horned larks, red-breasted mergansers (flying overhead), and a female northern harrier who has been frequenting the western most area of West End 2 .
