Dune Road this morning was at an extremely high tide (as high as I've ever seen it when not in a storm). It was easily passable in a sedan - but a good rinse with freshwater is recommended afterwards Due to the high tide birds were scarce but I did note the following:
Belted Kingfisher Northern Harrier (2) Red-breasted Mergansers Black Ducks Great Blue Herons (2) For photos of the birds - you can view them here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2013/03/dune-road-ducks.html -- - Luke Ormand, East Patchogue www.birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com www.wildlongisland.blogspot.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
