9-24-2010 Sy Schiff and I (Joe Giunta) started our birding day at Jones Beach Coast Guard Station. There were easily over 800 birds on the sand bar. The species we noted were Dunlin (FOS), Black-bellied Plover, Am. Oystercatcher, Willets, Dowitchers, Ruddy Turnstones, Sanderlings, Common and Forster's Terns and Black Skimmers. The mosquitoes were so bad that we left this venue only after a short stay. We went to Robert Moses SP and at the volley ball courts of field 2 we found one Clay-colored and one Lincoln's sparrow. Over the ocean we did spot one or two Gannets. The hawk watch was very quite with us only recording only one Kestrel.
