Jones Beach West End 20 April Looking for my first SAVANNAH SPARROWS, I found 10 feeding along the edges on both sides of the road just before the turn into the Coast Guard Station. Also, a pair of DARK-EYED JUNCOS and a very tame PALM WARBLER.
Other birds Included HERMIT THRUSH, BROWN THRASHER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, EASTERN TOWHEE and a HOUSE FINCH pair. The water was choppy and difficult viewing. I did pick out the lingering BLACK SCOTER; add BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER and DUNLIN on the bar. A very large (100+) DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT FLOCK FLEW OVER. At last, the beginning of the migration.
