"I'm sharing my photos and stories of my bird watching adventures on Long Island. I also feature my sightings from around the USA and other countries when I travel. I hope you enjoy them." - Rob (from Massapequa)
I went to the preserve by my house before work for about 15-20 minutes. Not a lot of time, but I'll take what I can get. I heard and saw a loud White Eyed Vireo by the Pittsburgh Ave entrance and my FOS Catbirds. Yellow Warblers were everywhere. When I got home I heard my FOS Baltimore Oriole. Also seems to be a House Wren continuing by my house.
I went to my nearby preserve before work just for the "sake of birding". I saw a and photgraphed a cooperative Red Winged Blackbird. Just when I thought the preserve had nothing else to offer, I heard, then tracked down a mystery warbler. I thought I found something uncommon like an Orange Crowned Warbler but was just a greenish Yellow Warbler.

I saw a Great Blue Heron at my son's school and didn't think much of it until the next day when anther birder posted a photo of it leaning up against the school fence. Sadly the bird didn't make it. Old age? something bad happen to it? Who knows?
Went around for a while, had to work hard for FOS Snowy and Great Egrets, Osprey. I stopped by Bayard where I saw the returning Yellow Throated Warbler.
