Quogue Wildlife Refuge was abuzz with birds this evening. A large flock of Cedar Waxwings were actively hawking insects around the bridge at North Pond. Also seen was a YOY American Redstart and an Eastern Wood Pewee. Near the butterfly garden was a Ruby Throated Hummingbird feeding on nectar, a White-breasted Nuthatch, Eastern Towhees, and a good number of Blue Jays. Photos of the Waxwing, the Am. Redstart and others can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/08/quogue-wildlife-refuge.html
