Agree with Doug.
I also had a Lapland longspur today, but a bit farther north, in croton point
park. And could see massive movement this morning up along the Hudson, with
many birds flying over.

The last three days along the Brooklyn and Queens coast have been a great
study in the dynamism that is bird migration in late October.
On Friday morning, I birded an exceedingly foggy Plum Beach in Brooklyn
after a modest night flight overnight (visible on Nexrad radar). The dunes

Queens May 1st:
Alley Pond Park: 73 species with 18 species of Warblers. Highlights included
KENTUCKY and HOODED Warbler. Also Solitary Sandpiper.
Oakland Lake: Quieter than Alley but that was much later in the day so who

Spent the morning and early afternoon at Floyd Bennett in Brooklyn, Riis Park
and Fort Tilden in Queens, and back to Plum Beach in Brooklyn. The first part

Yesterday (January 20) I seawatched for an hour or so from the beach at
Fort Tilden, along the Queens barrier beach.
There was an interesting mix of birds heading west, including *RAZORBILLS
(19 *westbound, and at least *8* on the water), Bonaparte's Gulls (29

We stopped twice today (1/3) to check for the Cassin's Kingbird at the
community garden without luck. Other people who were still holding vigil said
it had not been seen.
Not much seabird activity at Breezy Point (Queens Co.), except for some Gannets

I observed a good westbound push of passerines from the Fort Tilden hawkwatch
platform this morning, highlighted (as expected this year) by a strong push of
Pine Siskins. Other species seen moving west in good numbers were:
-Yellow-rumped Warbler (difficult to get a total count of, as they were
