One new bird this morning: a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher working the dead and dying oaks at the edge of the marsh. Greater Yellowlegs on the pond.
There were a few birds missing from yesterday's account of the Linnaean trip from Moriches to Shinnecock: Spotted Sandpiper, American Goldfinch and House Finch. The latter has gone from being widespread and very common to something better described as uncommon -- mostly due to an epidemic that decimated its ranks -- so it is worth mentioning.
