We spent part of the morning at Pt. Lookout (west side of Jones Inlet) where, besides a few Purple Sandpipers and a Razorbill, little of note was observed. We proceeded to the north end of Massapequa Preserve. While traveling south on Parkside Blvd. we observed an adult Red-shouldered Hawk perched in a tree some fifty yards east of the roadway. More specifically, at the intersection of Boston Avenue and Parkside Blvd. A photo of the hawk can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kfeustel/
Other birds of note were both kinglets, and Gray Catbird. Massapequa Lake (north side of Montauk Highway) held a good variety of waterfowl, but not big numbers. Present were Common Merganser, Hooded Merganser, Northern Pintail, Lesser and Greater Scaup, Ring-necked Duck, Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Ruddy Duck, and Bufflehead.
