I was at Massapequa Preserve Saturday around the
parking lot and pond by Pittsburgh Avenue. Song Sparrows, Cardinals and
Red Wing Blackbirds were singing so hopefully that's a good sign that
Spring is on the way. Also saw Common Grackles, Blue Jays, Chickadees,
Downy Woodpecker, Crows, and a Catbird (probably overwintering)
On the pond, there were mostly Mallards and Ringed Billed
Gulls. There were also a few Mute Swans, Black Ducks, Canada Geese and
an American Wigeon. A nice surprise were 4 Common Mergansers - a drake
and 3 females.
