I also had some luck with crossbills this morning at Heckscher SP, spending
about half-hour at close range with a tame flock of 18 White-winged. This flock
remained in a grove of pines next to the beach around 11;30 AM; a few birds
occasionally flew onto the sand briefly to pick at something
This morning I visited Hecksher State Park in search of Crossbills. I'd
never seen these two species before, but figured now was the best time to
do so. After running into Derek Rogers who gave me some rudimentary advise
(head east and listen for birds), I found a mixed flock of Red Crossbills
Around 10 Red Crossbills flew south west over West Babylon High School at 10:40
this morning.

Jones Beach West End 18 Nov.
Entering the median opposite the Coast Guard Station road, we immediately heard
and saw finches in the pines. A search of the area found PINE SISKIN, RED
CROSSBILLS, WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS, a COMMON REDPOLL and some AMERICAN
GOLDFINCH further on.in the median.
There was a small finch flight this morning at Derby Hill, with the following
birds seen:
3 PINE GROSBEAK – feeding on the red fruits in the small tree near sign #1 –
only present for a few minutes before moving on.
40+ White-winged Crossbills – several flocks flying north along the shoreline
To follow up on Joe Trezza's email, there were at least 65 and more likely 80
cave Swallows. Yes I said 80. One flock had at least 50 birds. The other had
15-20 and there were birds flying between them. The flock was quickly forming
and breaking up and dispersing, only to reappear minutes
Hot on the heals of our successful trek for the Northern Lapwings on
Wednesday, a group of us (Renee Davis, Scott Baldinger, Lance Verderame and I)
from Sullivan County headed down to Alley Pond Park this morning to make a
second attempt at the Virginia's Warbler. We were only there about 20
Just missed the Crossbills at field 7 when I first arrived around 8:30 am
according to the photographers that were there. Then around 9am 8 Red
Crossbills returned predominately males. Drove towards model airplane field
only to see on the pines before that field on the tallest pine spire a
65 Cave swallows just flew over the perpandicular pond at the cemetery of the
resurrection on Staten Island
