Great South Bay Audubon Tuesday Nature Walk 9/9/2025

 Today oyr walk was at the Oceansied Marine Nature Study Area. This is a facility run by the Town Of Hempstead. It is an accessible marshland. The tide was hight but we still saw some very nice birds. There were plenty of Green Herons, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Yellow Crowned Night Herons and Great Blue Herons for us to check out. This is always a great place to visit. When the tide is right we can also see migrating shorebirds at this time of year.

We had a good turnout and everyone enjoyed the morning walk. Our next Tuesday walk is at Shinnecock Inlet and Dune Rd.

 Today was our kickoff of the fall 2025 season of Bird/Nature Walks. To start in style we had a Bald Eagle fly over the parking lot as we did our morning introduction circle. As we were leaving the parking lot a tres on the edge of the lotgave us a bunch of birds to look at, Goldfinches, Chipping Sparrows, Chickadees, and some Cedar Waxwings. There was an Eastern Phoebe hanging around allso. A good start to our walk. We had over 22 species of birds with the Cedar Waxwings providing looks throught the walk. A pair of Belted Kingfishers were flying over the lake edge. At the end of the walk an Osprey perched for us to have a raelly good look
