[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End- Northern Shrike, Marbled Godwit, Red Crossbill, Pine Siskins

2010-11-16 Thread Vinny Pellegrino
I started out this morning at the Coast Guard Station where the sand spit was 
devoid of birds.  I tried scoping out the flats across the channel, but the 
foggy conditions didn't help.  So I resorted to walking the median where there 
were several flocks of Pine Siskins, Goldfinches, and a suprise male Red 
Crossbill.  Raptors observed included Northern Harriers, Sharp-shinned Hawk, 1 
Cooper's Hawk, and a Peregrine Falcon.  After checking the median I headed back 
over to the Coast Guard Station where the fog was no longer present and the sun 
even popped out for a bit.  A Harbor Seal greeted me as I approached the edge 
of 
the dock- pretty neat.  On the water were a pair of Common Eider, 1 
White-winged 
Scoter, 1 Long-tailed Duck, 4 Great Cormorants, lots of DC Cormorants, and 
several Common Loons.  On the exposed flats were many American Oystercatchers 
and among them was the Marbled Godwit.  An American Bittern that popped out of 
the marsh for a short time was a nice suprise.  Before leaving, a Common Snipe 
flew over calling.

At the Nature Center, the Northern Shrike continues.  Also present were several 
Horned Larks, a  flock of Snow Bunting, and 2 Eastern Meadowlarks.
