I started the day looking for the recently reported Ash-Throated Flycatcher. I got to see it this time! After 2 hours I found it along the west side of Fort Hill Cemetery. At Montauk Point/ Camp Hero I saw the usual scoters, Common Eiders and Gannets. At Lake Montauk I saw a mix of Common Goldeneye and Bufflehead. At Gosman's I saw Common Loons, Great and Double Crested Comorants, and most likely a Peregrine Falcon. I stopped at several locations in the Hamptons including Hook Pond and Sagaponack. The most notable sightings was around Hook Pond where I saw 3 Snow Geese, a Cooper's Hawk, and Purple Sandpipers. A search through the Canada Geese flocks in the Hamptons and along 25A by Riverhead didn't yield anything unusual until the end of the day where I spotted something white in a geese flock in a school field - was a Snow Goose and also saw a Greater White Fronted Goose. Curiously, there was about a dozen yellow tagged Canada Geese - the most I saw together in one group. I also check around Cedar Beach, Mount Sinai for a recently reported Razorbill that was close to shore, but only found Long Tailed Ducks.
