I spent the day at the Massapequa Preserve walking up the paved walking/biking path and down the Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt hiking trail. There were lots of land birds and waterfowl, including some late migrants. In particular there were five species of warblers in a park that usually doesn't have a lot of warblers. There were a total of 64 species.
