Great South Bay Audubon Tuesday Walk 05/20/2025

 Our walk to day was at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area. It is a marshland that gives you opportunities to up close for good looks at waders and shorebirds. Today was not disappointing. We got good looks at a bunch of them. One of the highlights is the close looks at the Night Herons. They were very cooperative today and with the bright sunshine it was very enjoyable. The Yellow -crowned Night Herons were in close and gave good views

We had 28 species of birds, a nice walk in a nice place and everyone enjoyed it

 Today our walk was at Belmont Lake Sate Park, this is our usual location the morning after our annual dinner. The dinner was a great success with everyone having a great time. The presentation by Shai Mitra  about his trip to Antarctica was well received.

We had 17 folks show up for our walk despite the threatening weather conditions. The rain did hold off long enough for us to finish our walk in a slightly shortened time frame. We saw over 25 species of birds including Great Crested Flycatchers, Red Eyed Vireos, Yellow Warblers and a couple of Veerys. A sighting of note was an Eastern Box Turtle
