With all the GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULL excitement from last Sunday,<\/a> I did not have time to do my usual end-0f-weekend post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday morning, Karen Miller and I left Goshen before Sunrise and headed to Rye, New York. We birded the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary<\/a> as well as the Rye Town Park<\/a>. It was bitterly cold out, with a strong cold wind which made it even worse, but still we had an enjoyable morning. I felt good about our total of 37 species for the morning. Highlights included a giant flock of Long-tailed Ducks way out in the LI Sound – perhaps 65 birds or even more. Other highlights included a single Horned Lark and a couple of Purple Sandpipers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday morning, I knew it was too early to try for gulls, so I made the rounds in the black dirt. I found only the usuals, but I had some really good photo ops, and the light was really nice. It was another cold morning of birding, even though I was in the car for the most part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
