This afternoon I spotted a *Rough-legged Hawk* circling over the Peconic River just *west* of the traffic circle in Riverhead. On Dune Road, *Two Great-Blue Herons* were wading in the marshes, a *Wilson's Snipe *was seen feeding directly East of Dolphin Ln., *Two Northern Harriers* flew over the frozen marsh and* two Peregrine Falcons* were briefly scene on the north side of Triton Ln. Also, Dune Rd. is accessible even by sedan, but it is extremely icy so proceed with caution. Photos of most of the birds can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/01/winter-snipe.html
