On Monday, I walked the trail around the "Ice Pond", at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. Bird activity was subdued, with the highlight being a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. I only connected with one, small, mixed flock, from which I was able to ID single Black-throated Green & Pine Warblers, in addition to 2 Black-capped Chickadees.
I then traveled Dune Rd, from Shinnicock Inlet to Cupsoque Co. PK, with 2 species worth mentioning. There must have been close to 1000 Double-crested Cormorant (with 80-90 % of them Juveniles) between the 2 locations. At the "Overlook", 12 Royal Turns were resting on the longest sand bar.
