Today, along Dune Road, Hampton Bays, 1 American Bittern (near LIPA pole 489) and Northern Harrier. The road is quite passible until east of the Ponquogue Bridge, where snow and ice puddles are frequent. During a late afternoon visit to the Quogue Wildlife Refuge, four Common Redpoll were found in the area of the wooden bridge at the north end of the Ice Pond. The birds remained there for at least an hour, and were still there as sunset approached. Access is easiest with X-country skis or snowshoes - however, the snow is hard-packed and passable.
