Cool weather did not seem to inhibit the number of birds at HLSP this morning, although the species observed seemed similar to what was reported from the same location yesterday. Highlights were four species of swallow on South Pond, including an early Cliff Swallow, as well as Tree, Barn, and Rough-winged Swallows. Warblers included good numbers of Pine Warblers, A few Palm Warblers, and a Black & White Warbler. Other species present included Wood Duck, Pied-billed Grebe, Eastern Phoebe, Blue-grey Gnatcatcher, Golden-crowned Kinglet, and Rusty Blackbird.
Reported Today by Others from HLSP : Black-throated Green Warbler and Blue-headed Vireo. I am not sure if the Orange-crowned Warbler observed at HLSP this past Sunday by Joe Viglietta was present today or was a sighting from yesterday. At West End/ Jones Beach later in the morning, there were three Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, Eastern Phoebe, Fox Sparrow, Field Sparrow, and two late Tree Sparrows.
