While walking along the dirt road to the very end of Orient Point, a Chat was located. The bird was keeping company with Cardinals, Carolina Wrens and Chickadees.
The County Park is accessible from the eastern most parking lot of the Cross Sound Ferry, and the dirt road runs parallel to the shoreline. Also seen were Gannets and Common Eider, all seen mid-day.
