Cut run short as bird activity was high. Goldfinch, pine siskens, and Crossbills were present, vocal and active. along with chickadees red-breasted nuthatches (3+) and a smattering of others. I ran into a fellow birder, Mike S. From whom I learned location had been posted to ebird. Between the wind and the poor lighting and the constant movements quantifying was difficult. I finally reached a high count of 7 Crossbills, when I scoped a pine. 5 males, 1 female and 1 possible juv. This last bird was seen only briefly via the scope, and appeared entirely gray. I didn’t observe any signs of nesting today, except for the possible age of this last bird. A search for Jones Pond, Calverton on google maps will get you to general locale. Take Paumanok Path west which traverses north side of pond. Take note of the no hunting signs along the path. When you reach the 3rd sign (in just a few minutes) you are in the right area. FYI, the burn extends northward and a small loop can be made by heading further west, taking first available right turns as they become available. Pine siskens were seen throughout this area. You will end up on Schultz Rd again. Walk south to close the loop.
