[nysbirds-l] West End Jones Beach Birds (Suffolk)
Huge swallow flight taking place this AM at Jones West End. Observed hundreds of Barn and Tree Swallows flying west from the Field 2 lot. Martins and Bank Swallows were present in lower numbers. After about 20 minutes of detailing a group of about a dozen CLIFF SWALLOWS flew low and across the lot. Due to time restrictions I could not stay and obtain a full, accurate count. Land birds had a good showing today in the median. 2 MOURNING WARBLERS put on a nice show and at least 5 ORCHARD ORIOLES were seen along the median stretch. Other common warblers were evident in good numbers. Started out early at Coast Guard Station at high tide. No Hudwits but good shorebird diversity continues.
