On my morning run I noticed three (3) species of swallows hawking insects over Robinsons pond (north side of S. Country Road) - Northern Rough-winged, Tree and Barn. Additionally, there was a lone Glossy Ibis on the east side of the pond mixed among several species of gulls including a few breeding plumaged Laughing Gulls. A handful of Male Goldfinches were observed as well.
While running down S. Howell's Lane in Bellport I watched an American Crow snap sticks off a tree and then carry them to a nearby under-construction nest in a large pine. Mother's Beach at the end of the road was quiet with one osprey on a nest. -- - Luke Ormand Instagram: @JrookPhotos -- 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/ --
