Re: [nysbirds-l] Smith's Point County Park, Suffolk
Fair nimbers of the usual late fall mix along the beach at Smith's Point this morning. Highlights included 2 Eastern Bluebirds, a Hairy Woodpecker and a Goshawk. Most interesting was runninng into Bob Gunning, a nature photographer/ birder, who showed us a photo of a frigatebird that he took last Sunday from the ranger's platform at Smith's Point. This bird was white in the upper breast/ throat area, and may be the same bird that passed by Oceanside on Tuesday.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Smith's Point County Park, Suffolk County
There seemed to be a decent flight along the beach this morning at Smith's Point Park, near Shirley/ Mastic. Lots of Yellow-rumps, Golden-crowned Kinglets, over a dozen White-crowned Sparrows, Field, Swamp, Chipping, Sanannah, 2 Indigo Buntings a Dickcissel and an Orange-crowned Warbler. A juv Lesser Black-backed Gull was in the parking lot along with some Black-bellied Plovers and Killdeers and one Semi Plover. A flyby group of Black-bellied Plovers had one calling Golden Plover- heading north, maybe towards the sod farms. About a half dozen Royal Terns were still hanging around the beach.
