At 11:10AM today Sue and I heard calling, and subsequently observed, two
Bohemian Waxwings in the parkway median opposite West End 2 (WE2). The birds
were apparently feeding near the ground in a pine grove west of the large
poplar tree that sits in the parkway median roughly opposite the main
entrance to WE2. A disturbance of some sort caused the birds to fly to a
dead pine tree where we obtained good, but brief, looks.



After seeing over 750 Bonaparte's Gulls in Jones Inlet this past Friday,
today we saw one (more the norm nowadays).



Other birds noted in the area were twenty-one Common Eiders, one American
Kestrel, and two American Pipits. At the east end of Jones Beach Field 6 six
Tree Swallows continue. At Cedar Beach a flock of ten Tree Swallows were
observed feeding over the Ocean Parkway.
