It was mid-afternoon when I nonchalantly turned the computer on to see what
was happening, and from then, to ~ 4 PM when I *safely* arrived at "The
Spot" on the Ocean Parkway and saw the "Crazy Crake", the Lord was my
co-pilot ! It was a "perfect storm/ not" of a trip, with no traffic
holdups, no a
Parking is technically illegal along the Ocean Parkway, and in the morning
there are many cars traveling to work along it. Many parked cars are bound to
eventually cause the police to chase people away, especially during rush hour.

Well it sure was a good day to be a birder! Went to photograph the
Black-headed Gull at Orchard Beach this early pm and got a 100 or so great

A Corn Crake (this is no joke) is currently feeding on the north shoulder of
the Ocean Parkway east of the Cedar Beach marina. The bird is staying close to
the shrubline. From the west bound lane line up the Cedar Overlook cell tower

Robert Moses was very quiet again this morning, but among the few birds was
a Magnolia Warbler gleaning in the median. No other late migrants were
noted.
