I counted at least 3 pied-billed grebes on Swan Lake in East Patchogue... nothing else really of note aside from a Yellow-rumped warbler.
On Thursday I went down to Smith's Point and along the side of William Floyd Parkway, just north of the entrance to the Marina I spotted a small group of Turkeys which was quite surprising. I also met up with a woman at the nature center/watch tower who said she photographed turkeys there. Pretty interesting that there are now Turkey on Fire Island considering they were all but gone from Long Island not long ago.
