Ardith Bondi and I spent the morning at Smith Point County Park.
Except for a flock 125 Boat-tailed Grackles (in the parking lot) and
numbers of loons and gannets offshore there were very few birds of
note. No winter finches and only one White-throated Sparrow.
One male EURASIAN WIGEON continues on Mill pond in Sayville.
At 7:00 am there was a BARRED OWL perched on a Lamp Pole near exit 18
(Queens Co.) on the LIE. This appears to be a good years for this
species with up to three individuals in one day in Central Park.
