A good day birding with only 1 major miss and a surpise. Bob May, Bobby Rosetti and I (Dave Klauber) saw the Leconte's and Lark Sparrows at Calverton, as well as some Meadowlarks. I think those responsible photographers should take pictures of the boneheads - photographer and birder alike - who scare away good birds. One photographer with a dark beard - don't know his name, unfortunately scared the bird this morning away from its location, but fortunately the bird returned. After we went east to Orient Point. Missed the Barrow's and in fact there were very few Goldeneye at the Marion causeway. At the ferry terminal the only gull was the immature Glaucous with the bad foot. Along the road in Orient Point State park were about 5-6 Common Redpolls, and a Purple sandpiper. Sommewhere between Calverton and there was a lone Turkey Vulture Dave Klauber --
