At approximately 2:00 the bird flew in front of my car and dove into a cedar tree along North Sea Road, Southold, NY. It was observed gleaning snow and cedar berries on both sides of the road, but mainly stuck around *1625 North Sea Road *(bright blue house). The Solitaire was very inconspicuous feeding atop the cedars and perching on nearby utility lines. A quick call to Steve Biasetti and he was also able to view the bird as well. Precise location: 41.075570, -72.451931 Good winter birding! Aaron Virgin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "North Fork Birds" group.
