I had looked with Vinnie Pellegrino on Tuesday afternoon for the crossbill

the highlights were 48 REDHEAD and 2 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS. Then it was

Thursday morning, around 10:30am, I spotted an OVENBIRD doing its
funny little walk in the park outside of the Weston entrance of the
American Museum of Natural History.
The bird was associated with some White-throated Sparrows, foraging

A second ICELAND GULL, this time an adult, was at Blydenburgh County Park in
Smithtown today. The ice is almost gone, and gulls were fewer and dispersed.
Today's ICGU was farther north at the armpit of Stump Pond. I did not relocate
yesterday's 3rd winter bird.
Lousy photos of both birds a

A nice array of geese were seen on Belmont Lake this morning. I first arrived
at 8:00 AM and quickly picked out 2 CACKLING GEESE, both separate from one
