[nysbirds-l] Cornell Cooperative/Suffolk Parks Bird Walk, Smith Point County Park, L.I., Saturday
Hello Everyone, Lively ocean today, thick with N. Gannets and Scoter flocks.We had a dozen Long Tails passing and a few more at rest on the bayside. Best bird was a bright Blue Headed Vireo along the ballfield fenceline. A lone sitting Merlin kept things quiet for a while,then the SC Junco flocks erupted from the hedgerows. Field and Chippings were with them.Early on we watched 20 Snow Buntings skim the primary dune,3 Horned Larks were also found in the big lot.No sign of the 7 Royal Terns I saw on Thursday.Good Autumn Birding, Carl Starace -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
