Hi Everyone, There were 2 Great Cormorants and 3 Purple Sandpipers,[east side] at the Inlet today. One of the G.Cormorants , a juvenile, was sitting at the base of the ocean Buoy that is directly out from the inlets mouth. Common Eiders were still abundant around the bay and inlet . Just east of Triton Lane Dick Belanger and I found a flock of 22 American Pipits and a single "Ipswich", Savannah Sparrow. Just west of Triton was a single American Bittern, perhaps the same that Luke Ormand photographed recently. Lastly, there was a RedTail Hawk in the cedars by the Quogue bay side boardwalk. A bird not seen often along Dune Rd. No sign of the SE Owl today ,just the usual N. Harriers. Good January Birding, Carl Starace
