Birding

Hello! I went birding today with @akiley at Sherwood Island State Park. We saw a good amount of birds, the wind kept the passerine level down and it was hard to get photos. The highlight was a Razorbill, which is uncommon for this side of the sound. I managed to get a good photo of a mockingbird. I spotted a "Dovekie" which I scoped out turns out it was a small log! Dovekie is RARE on the NYC side of Long Island Sound. Later we went searching for the Saw- whet owl that was reported at Sherwood, no luck with that. We had one Horned Grebe and a bunch of goldeneyes (No Barrow's). Then I went to Jenning's Beach to see the Tufted Duck, I ended up seeing it along with 2 Male Common Eiders, Black Scoter, Lesser and Greater Scaup. and more.
Thanks for reading!
