Steve Walter's post got me moving to the nearest site for migrants as Jones Beach wasn't in the timeline for the day. This Brookhaven town facility is actually situated on a closed landfill, but can at times support a fair number of nice species. It is one of the few locations in western Brookhaven where Northern Bobwhite still can be found, heard, and presumably breeding. Notable species encountered during a one hour walk were: Clay-colored Sparrow (drinking water from a puddle in the maintenance area) Savannah Sparrow Black-throated Blue warbler Western and Eastern races of Palm Warbler Eastern Phoebe Blue-headed and Red-eyed Vireo(s) Ruby and Golden-crown Kinglet(s) American Redstart All in all a productive hour of birding Bob McGrath
