Dune Rd west of Ponquogue Bridge was disappointing this morning (no
buntings). Lots of willet and a savannah sparrow. But then we checked
Quogue Wildlife Refuge -- best bird was a prothonotary, but also had
several black and white warblers, pine warblers, yellow-rumps, a
blue-headed vireo, a hermit
Went to a small preserve on Stony Hill Rd in Amagansett, which can be
decent for spring migrants. Saw my FOS thrasher and a half dozen FOS
towhees. Apparently, Japanese barberry, an invasive weed that has taken

Best birds were:
10-20 EASTERN MEADOWLARKS
1 EASTERN PHOEBE
1 BLACK VULTURE among 10-20 TVs
a pai
There was a Greater White-fronted Goose among the ~500 Canadas at Hook Pond
yesterday.
