An early male Prairie Warbler at the Sands Point Preserve (Nassau) this morning was unexpected; it was near the “waterfall” that feeds the pond. Many Palm (23) and Yellow-rumped (26) Warblers. Other migrants included Turkey Vulture (overhead), 3 Wood Duck, 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, 5 N. Rough-winged Swallows. 63 Long-tailed Ducks (flagged by eBird as too many/too late), were on the water in LI Sound, all together in one tight flock. eBird also flagged 23 Palm Warblers as too many.
