Pine Warblers and Eastern Phoebes were singing this morning in the
Calverton- Manorville area, and Bluebirds were bringing nesting material to
boxes near the Epcal south entrance. Two Great Egrets were on the Grumman
Pond, and several more were in the marshes on the north side of Dune Rd.
Also along Dune Rd, Boat-tailed Grackles were loud and showy from Tiana
Beach to Shinnecock Inlet, and at the Osprey nest near the Ponquogue Bridge
two birds were defending the homestead against two 'interlopers'. A few Am.
Oystercatchers were feeding on the bay islands.
