We started out on a cool brisk morning in Caumsett State Park with clouds and wind. We ended with sunshine and a nice day. There were plenty of birds to go around as we walked the many open acres of a beautiful north shore park.
Soon after discussing whether we might see some Bluebirds, they sure enough popped up for all to see. There was flock of about fifteen working the berry vines in a group of trees. They were flying and hopping and making a racket in the trees and vines. We spent a good amount of time enjoying them.
The park has many open fields and fields with horse paddocks. We walked around the perimeters and enjoyed the horses in the pasture as well the birds working the edges. In a lower pasture we watched a pair of Red-tailed hawks circling and calling. We had four raptor species for the morning, Red-tailed, Cooper's, Sharp-shinned and Northern Harrier. Over all we had over thirty species of birds for our efforts this morning.
