Held on Tues. Dec. 27, the most outstanding bird found was, undoubtably, the Mountain Bluebird (EPCAL/Manorville Sector) Other good finds were Black Vulture (Eastern Eastport - Westhampton Sector), and Snowy Owl (Cupsogue as well as Smith's Point Sectors) In addition, Eastern Phoebe, Red-necked Grebe, Black-legged Kittiwake, Razorbill, Orange-crowned Warbler, and Pine Siskin were all reported. Not all the results are in, but overall, the consensus was that perhaps due to the mild weather, the overall number of birds was lower than in past years.
Thanks to all those who participated! (It was particularly difficult was to stay on task with that beautiful Mountain Bluebird just sitting there! - hope everyone had a chance to see it today!)
