Jones Beach West End, Massapequa

I stopped by the Jones Beach West End today - lots of Robins, Starlings, and Red-winged Blackbirds. There were a decent amount of Flickers and 4 Killdeer were in the median by the booth. Also saw 2 Phoebes. At the Coast Guard Station, there were at least 6 Horned Grebes - some with great plumage. Common Loons and Long Tailed Ducks were still present. A lone Oystercatcher was on the sandbar that leads to "the Spit".  By the Coast Guard gates, a group of ~10 Cedar Waxwings landed in the trees.

At Massapequa Preserve, the red morph Screech Owl was visible. I saw a pair of Brown Headed Cowbirds there and a pair has been hanging out by the bird feeder in my yard all day.
