Between 2:30 and 4:45 on Sunday afternoon, I checked most of the sod farms from Riverhead to Cutchogue, with the only shorebirds found being the 6 Killdeers seen at the last stop of the day, the field located on Sound Ave, at the intersection of Osborne Ave, Riverhead. A quick drive into the North Fork Preserve, Jamesport produced my first E.Kingbirds (2) of the year (yes, I haven't been out much) and a real surprise, a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, a species last seen on 6/1 (or)2 /02 in the Adirondacks. Also seen during the course of the day were 3 Red-tailed Hawks and 2 Turkey Vultures.
