Nickerson, HLSP, Robert Moses, Heckscher, Roseate Spoonbill Part 3

 Took some time with Snouty to look for some of the rarities that have been around.  Went to Nickerson where we found a continuing Baird's Sandpiper right on the beach.  We also noticed lots of dead young Skimmers and terns.  There was an adult tern that seemed to have a broken wing.  We caught up with the Red-Winged Blackbird/ Cowbird flock that had a recent female Yellow Headed Blackbird mixed in but did not find it.  We assume it's gone. At HLSP, it was mostly unproductive but did find a nice looking Magnolia Warbler and some Red Eye Vireos, and a Veery.  I tried looking for flycatchers in the northern part by the houses but no luck there.  We headed to Heckscher to look for shorebirds - bunch of other birders there.  We saw a continuing Western Sandpipers, couple of White Rumped, and 3 Stilt Sandpipers.  On the bay we saw a Royal Tern and some gulls picking up baitfish from the water.  We headed over to Mill Neck where we saw the Spoonbill and I was able to get some decent photos of it after it flew from roosting in a tree on Beaver Lake to the other side of Cleft Road into the marsh.  On the way there, Snouty saw a hawk that was "definitely not" a Red Tailed.  His best guess was Ferruginous but we weren't able to confirm 100%.
