At approximately 10:00AM this morning a Thick-billed Murre was observed in the ocean off the Tiana Beach (Dune Road) pavilion. The bird was observed swimming west. Other than the Murre there was not much else, although American Bittern and Black-crowned Night Heron were observed on the north side of Dune Road near Dolphin Lane. I then headed to the Riverhead farm fields to once again try for the elusive (for me, anyway) Pink-footed Goose. Although there were many Canada Geese present, and they were scattered all over the fields between Doctor’s Path and Rt. 105, the best I could do was two Cackling Geese and one White-fronted Goose. Also present was a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk.
