[nysbirds-l] Blue Grosbeak @ Gilgo Beach, Suffolk
Excited about the news of the bunting and grosbeak arrivals I decided to head out on a late evening mission to Gilgo Beach. It seemed like a good bet given Pat and Shai's Indigo Bunting counts. At about 6:15 I located 11 INDIGO BUNTINGS spanning the roadway east of the main parking area. Only 1 individual was a female. I decided to check along the edges of the rest of the main parking area. At 6:45 I noticed a BLUE GROSBEAK foraging along the ground just west of the main entrance to GILGO. It was located along the south side of the lot just east (about 10 ft) of the restroom facility. Some digiscope photos can be viewed at my Flickr page.
