[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach this morning

2015-09-13 Thread 10000birdsblogger
Thus far Seth Ausubel and I have turned up a chat at the beginning of the road 
to the Fisherman's lot, a heard-only Dickcissel, a (getting pretty late) Least 
Tern in the inlet, and two Baird's Sandpipers in the westernmost pond to the 
west of the TR Nature Center.

Good birding,
Corey Finger
