[nysbirds-l] Finch flight and other notes from Jones Beach, Nassau County

I spent 5.5 hours at Jones Beach today, stationed near the turnaround until about 9 and then scouring the median and area north of the parkway but keeping an eye and an ear turned skyward. It turned out to be a pretty solid day for late diurnal migrants. I tallied 1,253 American Goldfinches, 374
