GSBAS Nature Walk 05/18/2021 Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area

 Great weather, great place and great folks made for a morning  of  great birding. MNSA is always an interesting place to bird. The birds cab close up and easy to see most of the time. We had 27 species and some highlights were both Black and Yellow-crowned Night Herons. Snowy and Great Egrets plus really good looks at a Clapper Rail. There were plenty of shorebirds to see as well.

We then went to Jones Beach West end to check out the shorebirds there.  We had a good mix of shorebirds, Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers. Semi-palmated plovers, Ruddy Turnstones. Dublin and American Oystercatchers.

All in all a good moring all around
