Jones Beach Coast Guard area

Decided to look for sparrows - when I arrived, another birder told me there was a Dickcissel by the hedgerow.  I found it on the Coast Guard property side of the fence, gave it some space and it landed on the grass on the park side of the fence.  I came around the other side of the hedgerow and the Dickcissel landed on the fence right next to me.  I slowly twisted my body and got some good photos.  The Dickcissel took off towards the parking lot where I relocated it for a couple of birders who saw it as a lifer.  Other highlights were 2 Meadowlarks I spooked up from the grass by the outer west end turnaround.
