Sue and I did some birding at Hempstead Lake State Park (HLSP) this morning, later stopping by Massapequa Preserve (MP). Unfortunately the cloudy weather seemed to put a damper on bird song. Highlights at HLSP was a single Northern Rough-winged Swallow with Tree Swallows on South Pond, and a dull-plumaged Pine Warbler in the trees just south of the parking area. There were also good numbers of Golden-crowned Kinglets and Eastern Phoebes. There was a hybrid Eurasian x American Green-winged Teal on Lily Pad Pond. At MP Golden-crowned Kinglets put in a good showing but there were few other migrants.
