Date: Feb. 27, 2014 I started the day off birding with the South Shore Audubon Thursday birding group in Hempstead Lake SP. We saw an American Woodcock and three Bald Eagles. Also present were a number of Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles. After our walk some of us went to Tacapausha Preserve,in the Seaford/Massapequa area, and following the crows we found a Great Horned Owl. This preserve also had a good number of singing Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles. Later I went to Jones Beach where I saw Tree Swallows in field West End 2, Killdeer in the median between fields 1 and 2 and finally American Oystercatchers, seen from field 10. Also present at Jones Beach were Common Loons, Horned Grebes, Horned Larks, Peregrine Falcon and Marsh Hawks. A very nice day to be birding, Joe Giunta --
