I know it's not rare at all, but I saw a Greater Yellowlegs at
Massapequa Preserve this morning - noteworthy because long time
residents of the area have said that the preserve used to be a hotspot
for them years ago - I don't know what drove them away, but hopefully
today's sighting is some hope that they might return. American Wigeons,
Northern Shovelers, Great Blue Herons, and a Wood Duck were at the ponds north of Sunrise
Highway. I'm hoping the Eurasian Wigeons that have frequented the
preserve for the last several winters will return - I'll check at least
every few weeks. Songbirds (nothing uncommon) included Downy and Red
Bellied Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens, Catbirds, Robins,Yellow Rumped Warbler, and White
Breasted Nuthatches.
Around my house, several Carolina Wrens were singing.
