Patricia Lindsay, Holly Wilson, and I participated in this year's exploratory
trial of a rare bird roundup on eastern Long Island.
We didn't find anything really rare, but we found a good variety of CBC-quality
species in our Southampton territory:
In the coastal scrub adjacent to the Mecox Bay
Just had an imm. Brown Pelican fly past the fishing pier at West End 2.
Continue flying over the channel in an easterly direction. Up and over the
Meadowbrook drawbridge.
