I spent just over five hours at Jones Beach this morning, from sunrise to almost noon. It was very windy, but the weather was beautiful and bird activity was very high in areas of cover and during breaks in the breeze. The Dickcissel continues by the fisherman's road, heard several times just

Jones Beach West End 14 Sep. Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) went looking for the Pectoral Sandpiper seen early in the morning in the ponds between the parking lots. Instead we saw the continuing BAIRD'S SANDPIPER and the anticipated AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER, our first in the West End this Fall..

I played hooky from my dead-end job this morning and birded the Sands Point Preserve and adjacent land. The winds were favorable and there was decent migratory movement. The highlight was a first-year Bald Eagle that I flushed out of a tree along the preserve trail that parallels the bluffs

Anyone who lives within easy distance of Nickerson...the horizon is roiling with birds. Lots of dynamic soaring patterns. I don't have a scope so I'm just trying to discern patterns and silhouettes to little avail, but there's a lot going on. Also had a flyby Royal Tern and a hummingbird.
