Normally I don't like to lump locations together but figured I would make a general post of the species seen as the Spring Migration begins to heat up. I saw a few lifers - most notable for me were 3 Whimbrels - one of my target birds for 2015. I also saw my lifer Cape May Warbler who at first was shy but then allowed for some decent shots. Also worth mentioning was a partially leucistic Boat Tailed Grackle, but took off before I could get a picture. The white was mostly concentrated on the back of the wings near the wingtips so made for a really stunning bird. Other birds I've seen recently include (some already seen this season):
*FOS or somehow significant to me personally
Common Loon, Red Throated Loon, Gadwall, Greater Yellowlegs (one at Massapequa Preserve)*, Least Sandpiper, Great White Egret, Snowy Egret,Glossy Ibis, Laughing Gull*, Forester's Terns*, Double Crested Comorants (in large numbers), Bald Eagle (juvenile), Turkey Vulture (over Massapequa Preserve)*, Red Screech Owl (original #1 at Massapequa Preserve)*, Turkey, Yellow Rumped Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Eastern Bluebird, Common Grackle, among many others
