Good news, in spite of the large number of "Sandy"-totaled cars still present, at least five Eastern Meadowlark were seen this morning at the former Grumman facility. Also over the same grasslands, were Northern Harrier and American Kestrel. Eastern Bluebirds and Tree Swallows were found in the southern portion of the property, and at least 50 Horned Lark nearby, in the eastern field of Hulse Landing Road. An adult Bald Eagle was seen flying to the west, following the Peconic River, observed from the NYS Police barracks near downtown Riverhead. A delightful way to end an enjoyable Springtime morning!
