Massapequa Preserve continues to be a good location for lingering warblers this fall, with a late immature Yellow Warbler seen this morning. In the past few weeks warblers at MP have included Orange- crowned, Black-throated Blue, Parula, and Palm. Last Sunday a late Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was on the west side of the Pittsburgh Ave. pond. The drake Eurasian Wigeon continues on the pond in the company of American Wigeon.
The continuing closure of the barrier beaches have been a source of frustration for area birders, even more so when Annie McIntyre reported that a Northern Lapwing was seen and photographed by a State employee in the median at Robert Moses State Park yesterday, but not observed by Annie today. Lets hope that the beaches open in time for the Christmas CBC's!
