The highlight, albeit brief, of a trip through north-central Suffolk County was a flyover Ross's Goose in a flock of Canadas in Northville. My dad and I searched for several hours, but we did not see the bird again. During our searching, we encountered 3 Snow Goose among the countless flocks of Canada Geese.
In Northville, we saw the continuing 13 American Pipits at the Reeves Ave. Buffalo farm. An immature White-crowned Sparrow was nearby. Over on Doctors Path, in addition to several flocks of Horned Larks, we found a group of 109 pipits. A bit earlier in the day, we encountered 5 Vesper Sparrows along Hulse Landing Road in Calverton.
