[nysbirds-l] McAllister County Park, Belle Terre (Suffolk)
I spent the morning at the above location and wanted to get the word out that I came across a WESTERN KINGBIRD which eventfully led me to a NORTHERN SHRIKE. Parking for this location is limited to 7-8 vehicles in a County Parking area at the end of Anchorage Road in the Village of Belle Terre. This park has been largely inaccessible over the years but thanks to Suffolk County we now have access. Do not park anywhere outside of this lot (which is currently full) as you will get ticketed. Lastly, its a long march out to the prime habitat (roughy 30 minute hike). Good luck if you decide to go.
