Dune road was quiet - no sign of owls or harriers. Shinnecock bay held some oyster catchers, brant, long-tailed ducks, black scorers and common eiders and the occasional loon.
Along the roadside ditches were a large number of great egrets. I visited EPCAL briefly and barely got out of the car. Grey ghost was present and there were a good number of kestrels. The mouth of Carmans river had 7 osprey in view at one point. A pair of shovelers was s nice surprise - no sign of bald eagle. - Luke -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
