This morning I visited an off-shoot of Wertheim (not the main area which is accessed from Smith Rd) and observed the following: Tree Swallows, Barn Swallows, 2 Great Egrets, 2 Snowy Egrets, 2 Osprey (nesting) and 2 Eastern Meadowlarks. Additionally, on Thursday while leaving the ("World Famous") Carmans River via boat, Anthony Graves and I saw and photographed a Female Peregrine Falcon. Photos of the birds can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/04/wertheim-national-wildlife-refuge.html -- - Luke Ormand, Flanders
