The highlights from the past two days of birding/hiking at Sunken Meadow State Park in Suffolk County have included an immature male Blue Grosbeak at the dump area(NW of main parking lot) and a Bald Eagle. Other birds worth mentioning were a pair of Eastern Bluebirds, 1 Merlin, White-eyed Vireo, Palm warbler, Northern Waterthrush, Wood thrush, and a Scarlet Tanager. The eastern portion of the park hosted a Yellow-crowned Night Heron and several Ospreys. Lastly, Common Nighthawks have been pretty reliable at sunset zipping above the Inner Marsh.
