A slow morning at Hempstead Lake State Park yielded Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (1), Eastern Phoebe (1), Golden-crowned Kinglet (3) Pine Warbler (2), Rusty Blackbird (8) and a Chat we did not see (but seen by a few lucky birders). At Connetquot River State Park Pine Warblers were present in good numbers (they breed here) - we observed fourteen singing birds. Other birds of note were our FOS Northern Rough-winged Swallows (2) feeding over Deep Hole Pond with about ten Tree Swallows.
Sue and I spent a few weeks birding in Costa Rica. I have downloaded photos (mostly birds) of the trip to my flickr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kfeustel/ Click on "Costa Rica Trip Photos" to view them in chronological order.
