It was a good day in Great Neck Estates Pond Park this morning. Lots and lots of the usuals - white throated sparrows and juncos. Also in good numbers were swamp sparrows and song sparrows as well as ruby crowned kinglets and yellow-rumped warblers. I also had good numbers of hermit thrushes and a lone carolina wren. Unusual for me were one Lincoln Sparrow (the first I have noted in the area) and an Eastern Towhee (ditto). Most of the warblers and vireo (which were still showing nicely until last week) seemed to have moved on but it was an overall nice showing for a small local park on the north shore of Long Island. --
