I visited Jones Beach West End this morning and had several GC-kinglets and Yellow-Rumped warblers by the Coast Guard station and 1 Brown Creeper. Overhead big numbers of Red-winged Blackbirds and Northern Flickers were moving in addition to 40 + Sharp-shinned Hawks. An American Kestrel and Merlin were seen along the western end of the parkway as was a Male Northern Harrier and several juvenile Northern Harriers. Photos of some of the birds can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2010/10/cold-winds-bring-good-birds.html
