Three male Boat-tailed Grackles were on Dune Road at the Ponquogue Bridge access, displaying a little to each other. A Snowy Owl was in the marsh west of the bridge, near the edge of the bay. West of Docker's Restaurant, the Black-crowned Night Heron was conspicuous, but I failed to find an American Bittern. The Black Vulture was atop the chimney of a house almost opposite the church on Sound Avenue at Church Lane. No birds of note were present at the buffalo farm on Roanoke Avenue when I stopped there. Further west, a scan of EpCal from several points yielded nothing. On Long Island Sound, viewed from Park Road and Hulse Landing Road, only expected species were seen. A Merlin and two Northern harriers were along Hulse Landing Road.
