morning around my house
I went to get gas early in the morning and heard a Blackpoll as soon as I went outside! I also saw the Turkey on my street a few houses down.

Massapequa Preserve
I went to the preserve in the morning hoping to find the turkey, didn't see it but there were a lot of birds singing - I was using Merlin and heard a very load sound that was ID's as a Northern Waterthrush. I did confirm it visually and saw it briefly in the little muddy area near the bridge/ stream. I also saw a Magnolia Warbler which are always nice/ pretty to see in the Spring. I also found a Baltimore Oriole nest right above the bridge with 2 orioles going back and forth.
Turkey in my neighborhood
On the Massapequa Dad's FB page, someone posted he saw a turkey in front of his house (near Parkside Drive) I went looking for it and after a while I found it! Nice addition to my area. It would cross Parkside between front yards and the preserve. I hope it stays safe since we don't have the best drivers around here.

There was definitely a large migration overnight - heard/ saw a Yellow Warbler, Baltimore Oriole around my house. There were many Catbirds, and Yellow Rumps...Merlin picked up Indigo Bunting and Parulas.
