In my report on Wednesday's tour with Mark Cocker, I forgot to mention the appearance of Chimney Swifts in considerable numbers flying with the various swallows over the ice pond at the Quogue Refuge. Back at the refuge this morning, there were Chimney Swifts everywhere and the White-eyed Vireo was singing from wetlands next to the boardwalk as it was on Wednesday. But the only warblers I was able to pull up were the Yellow and Common Yellowthroat that stay to breed.
As a reminder, the Suite from my gangster opera "The Last Words of Dutch Schultz" will have its premiere at the Southampton Cultural Center, 25 Pond Lane (opposite Agawam Park and Lake) in Southampton on Sunday at 3 pm. The performers are Marc Levine, violin, Gloria Shih, piano, Dylan Benson, percussion. The piece will be performed on a program of East End Composers that includes Victoria Bond, Bruce Wolosoff and Stephen Dickman.
