Date: Jan. 28, 2012 Location: Jones Beach, Point Lookout Our NYC Audubon group had an excellent day of birding at Jones Beach, Point Lookout. We saw almost 30 species. The highlights were a Black Scoter and immature Black-crowned Night Heron at the Coast Guard Station. We saw very well two Razorbills, three Great Cormorants and a Red-necked Grebe from the fisherman's parking lot. At the swale we saw Horned Larks and many Northern Gannets over the ocean, some resting on the ocean. At Point Lookout we picked up 7 Purple Sandpipers at the middle jetty, 3 Harlequin Ducks and a Horned Grebe at the east most jetty and a single Bonaparte's Gull. No Snowy Owl. Good Birding, Joe Giunta --
