We went pumpkin picking at the Lewin Farm Pumpkin Patch on 25A just past Sound Ave near Wading River, Long Island and were treated with a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW hanging out with a bunch of Yellow-rumped Warblers who were hawking near the wooded fenceline on the eastern side of the field. There were lots of Tree Sparrows flying around above the pumpkin patch until a MERLIN came flying overhead and cleared the air. An unexpected and surprising nice couple of finds for a site we weren't even planning on birding! --
