My sister Barbara and I birded a few spots in and around Bridgehampton, Suffolk County today. The two highlights were 1) a beautifully plumaged YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT at the end of Dune Rd, east side of Mecox Bay. The bird was in a pine close to the entrance to the parking lot. It was quite cooperative, allowing us to observe him for a few minutes before disappearing into the bramble. 2) A CACKLING GOOSE at Short's Pond on Scuttlehole Road. Also at Short's were several BUFFLEHEADS, 10 Green-winged Teal, 10-12 Northern Shoveler, and 10 Coot.
