This morning around 8:45 AM there was a fllock of about 30 Red Crossbills a bit
east of field 8 at Heckscher State Park. I did not see or hear them during my
first drive past, but on the second pass they took flight and landed very close
to the road. I could see them well enough to see at least 2 were "right cross"
types, where the upper mandible crossed to the right side. Later at the
entrance to the WE parking lot of Jones Beach there was a Palm Warbler. Many
beaches still remain closed, including Field 4
