If anyone has other ideas of where birding could be done, I'm sure we'd
all
like to hear.
Assuming that we will not be able to get to the ocean, maybe next best would
be to try any large school ballfields, sod/ potoato farms and lakes or
ponds. I'm heading out to the Riverhead area now to see if Indian Island
County Park is open- other spots that come to mind in that area would be the
high schools at Riverhead and Westhampton, golf courses the Rte 51 and
Northville Turnpike farms. Also, Lake Ronkonoma might be one of the larger
bodies of water that might be accessible.
For those who want to bird vicariously, here are 3 webcams that are gibving
ocean views. If an albatross flies by, you might actually be able to see
it!
