[nysbirds-l] Smith Point C.P. - Suffolk
A fairly slow day today at Smith Point with the exception of hundreds of northern gannets plunge diving in close proximity to the shore. Red-throated loons were also of note. The 15 ruddy ducks were in their usual location near the new fishing pier. On the terrestrial side, we found 1 VESPER SPARROW perched on the fence near the handball courts. I managed to get great digiscope photos of the bird. Other notables include: snow bunting peregrine falcon savannah sparrow -Derek, Chris and Elizabeth Rogers -- 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/ --
