An evolving mix of seabirds at the end today. Montauk Point had 5 BONAPARTE'S GULLS, a few Northern Gannets and a scattering of Forsters and Common Terns along with the usual suspects. Deep Hollow Ranch had a (late?) SOLITARY SANDPIPER but few geese (7 Canadas). Teddy Roosevely County Park had a WILSON'S SNIPE at the pool by the entrance, a drake NORTHERN PINTAIL, 2 Pied-billed grebes and a single American Coot. Rita's Pond had a couple of Killdeer and a couple of Black-bellied Plover. Culloden Point had 11 BONAPARTE'S GULLS but no grebes as of yet. Ice House Pond held just 3 American Coot. Lots of sparrows (Juncos, Song, White-throated, Chipping) at all locations. An afternoon walk with the dog at Cedar Point added a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
