I stopped by the preserve briefly a few times today - started by the Pittsburgh Ave entrance - still decent amount of White Throated Sparrows around - I like looking at and trying to photograph the ones with a bright white streak with the yellow patch thing by their eye. There were also about 6-8 Gadwall on the pond also. Heard some goldfinches, a somewhat distant Raven and a Carolina Wren. Best find over here was my FOS Gnatcatcher. I also was alerted to a Cooper's Hawk thanks to some Blue Jays sounding off their alarm calls. The Cooper Hawk did some posing so I was able to get a few decent photos.
I stopped by the "owl spot" by the LIRR parking lot/ Brady Park pond area - of course there was a continuing army of photographers camped out. I could see one of the 2 baby owls there - kinda feel like the mom owl is getting annoyed at the never-stopping group of photographers. I got a couple quick photos and moved on quickly to the pond. I saw a Great Egret in the trees by the shoreline and was treated to 10 ! Osprey above the lake - saw one catch a fish. Shortly after the gulls and Osprey scattered as a Bald Eagle came through.
