The Sands Point Preserve (Nassau County) was extremely active this morning from
8:30AM thru noon, reminiscent of the good ole days in the late 70s, and worth
the $10 dollar fleecing today.
Highlights were 17 species of warblers (especially noteworthy was CAPE MAY
WARBLER, notoriously difficult for me at this locale over the past few
decades), 2 PHILADELPHIA VIREOS, and OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER.
Warbler numbers were truly impressive. Sunlit trees by the pond were swarming
and from the cliff trail you could see warblers coming in off Long Island Sound
from points north.
Selected numbers appear below:
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Eastern Phoebe
Eastern Wood Pewee
