This afternoon, I blitzed the North Fork as far as Greenport, and although not seeing many birds, did manage to record a few raptors. At the N.F.Preserve, Jamesport, a Red-tailed Hawk was playing air games with some A.Crows. From there to Southold, along Sound Ave, (3) separate Turkey Vultures were seen. Back in Aquebogue, I flushed a N.Harrier off an apparent piece of carrion, and also had a high flying Sharp-shinned Hawk. Although I didn't count them, I can attest to a healthy Osprey population on the NOFO !
