At Montauk Point (Suffolk Co.) this morning, Hugh McGuinness and I seawatched for a short time with a distant jaeger being the only notable. Overhead migration seemed limited (not too surprising considering the rain and N-NNE winds during the night) but we did pick up a few interesting passerine migrants in the bushes around the main parking lot and lighthouse, including a *CAPE MAY WARBLER* (a rare sight on the East End), *BLACKPOLL WARBLER*, *YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO* and *WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW*.
Along the Seal Haul Out Trail a mile or so to the east, we found a couple of small feeding flocks including *BAY-BREASTED WARBLER*, *TENNESSEE WARBLER*, *BLACKPOLL WARBLER*, *NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH*, *BLUE-HEADED* and *RED-EYED VIREOS*. The weed choked main pond at Theodore Roosevelt County Park (Third House) hosted a good selection of birds including a *BLUE GROSBEAK*, at least 10 *INDIGO BUNTINGS*, *WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW* and 30+ *BOBOLINK*. -- Angus Wilson New York City & The Springs, NY, USA http://birdingtotheend.blogspot.com/ -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
