Jones Beach West End

I was at Jones Beach this morning - despite the flurries, saw a lot of birds. At the Coast Guard Marina, saw Red Breasted Mergansers, Scaup, Horned Grebes, Long Tailed Ducks, Brant, Red Throated and Common Loons.  On the median saw about a dozen Robins, Flicker, Red Winged Blackbirds, and Common Grackles. The flurries impeded looking for the Shrike, but saw a single Tree Swallow fly over the West End 2 lot.
