I checked on the goose flock roosting on Belmont Lake this morning. The flock did not fly out first thing and was in view from just before 8:30 till 10 when I left. The 4 Greater White-fronted Geese continue as does a single Cackling Goose, but I could not locate the Barnacle Goose. The birds were not sleeping (packed tightly), but many birds were in the NW corner out of view. Another notable bird there was a first year Iceland Gull.
At Jones Beach there is grass exposed on the road shoulders and the expected sparrows and warbler were using them in numbers. Horned Larks with at least 1 Lapland Longspur were at the Coast Guard Station.
