This morning I was by Jones Beach. Driving in the area I saw a Sharp Shinned Hawk and a very large Raven feeding on a roadkill? rabbit near the tower. From Wantagh Parkway I saw my FOS Great Egret in the marsh at Wantagh Park.

Backyard Birding
Just a few notes from the last couple of days. I've been seeing a pair of House Finches making a nest by my yard recently - I wonder if they're the same pair I've seen the last couple of years, I would like to think so. I had a bunch of Fish Crows in my area the other day. I also saw a group of 12 large birds fly over today -they were high end but my guess is that they were migrating Great Blue Herons, moving from the southwest to the northeast.

Random photos
I've been trying to go birding a little bit before singing into work. Here's some recent photos.

Massapequa Preserve: Red Throated Loon
With the arrival of some signs of spring (Cardinals singing, Robins on the grass, Red Winged Blackbirds and Grackles returning) I went to the preserve the last couple of days if anything just to see and hear Red Winged Blackbirds. I went this morning to the "Doris Place" pond and as I was leaving saw a Red Throated Loon at the edge of the stream. It went into the water as soon as I stopped so didn't great photos, but I was surprised to see one at this spot.
