At Jones Beach today, there was a Lark Sparrow seen briefly around 12:15 along the middle exit from the West End 2 lot, from where it flew into the field just to the east. At about 2:00, a Red-headed Woodpecker flew into the Field 10 lot (fishing piers), stopping briefly in a tree in front of the building there, then flying over the building in a direction that might have taken it toward the area where an RHW was seen in the spring. A Red-throated Loon, still somewhat in breeding plumage, was seen in the channel (out of photo range) near the Coast Guard station. Royal Terns were a frequent sight in this area during the morning.
