[nysbirds-l] South Fork birds (and bats)
The black guillemot and iceland gull continue at Lake Montauk. I didn't find the black-headed or little gull at Ditch Plains, but there were 3 purple sandpipers in with the sanderlings. But the highlight for me was seeing a bat, presumably a little brown bat, working the insects over a small pond in my yard in East Hampton. This was the first time I have seen one here so active during the day, and by far the earliest bat activity I have seen out here. *Bruce Horwith* *16 Salt Marsh Path* *East Hampton, NY 11937* *(631) 599-0040* -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
