Having not birded for a few days, I hauled myself out to Breezy Point yesterday for a Piping Plover survey. Then, proceeded to bird several spots, continuing today all in Queens. The highlights are as follows:
3-28 *Breezy Point* Piping Plover (7) Oystercatcher (23) Eastern Phoebe (55) Tree Swallow (100) *Rocky Point Marsh* American Pipit *Fort Tilden Battery Harris* Eastern Phoebe (11) *Riis Park * Oystercatcher (2) *Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge* Osprey *Idlewild Park Preserve* Wilson's Snipe American Woodcock 3-29 *Backyard Feeders* Chipping Sparrow Baltimore Orioles (2) - overwintering birds. *Kissena Park* Ring-necked Pheasant Wood Ducks *Alley Pond Park* Turkey Vulture Pine Warbler Eastern Phoebe (5) I did not include some sites which had nothing of note to report.
