Our walk today was at Jones Beach West End. WE had good attendance, twenty people shoed up on a fine, cool crisp fall morning.
We started by scoping the sand bar for shorebirds. We saw Oystercatchers, Sanderlings, Black-bellied Plovers and some Dunlin. In the bay were some Black Scoter, a couple of Common Loons and Double Crested Cormorants.
One of the highlights was a Dickcissel in the grass near the parking lot. On the walk down to the fisherman's lot we encountered bunches of Yellow-rumped Warblers, Golden Crowned Kinglets and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Add a couple of Hermit Thrushes and Chipping Sparrows and it added up o a good morning walk
