June 2nd, Breeding birds of Long Island
Leading : Rusty Harold
Among about 50 species counted by Saturday's Brooklyn Bird Club field
trip top Nassau County, two are worthy of particular note. We found
*two* Gull-billed Terns at Nickerson Beach, mostly standing apart from
the Common Terns. The first was spotted in the eastern most fenced off
area on the beach, and then flew off. A little while later we
relocated it standing near a second individual in the westernmost
fenced off area. We didn't see any evidence of these two nesting, but
it's worth checking out.
Later at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area, we found all six
expected heron species (Green, Great Blue, Black-crowned Night-heron,
Yellow-crowned Night-heron, Great Egret, and Snowy Egret) plus a
completely unexpected Little Blue Heron near the Golf Course.

Prospect Thursday Walk May 24th
Results of the final Spring 2012 Thursday Brooklyn Bird Club walk , led by Tom Stephenson.
The BBC is grateful towards Tom and Rob Bate for leading the weekday walks this spring. Migration is winding down, but as soon as u blink, those birds will be back in fall ( starting in August).
--KB
From Tom:
Hi Peter,
Well, it was a bit wet,, then even more wet...and the woods were a bit emptier than in our prior Thursday walks. However we were able to pull out a few good sightings.
Our best birds were probably a large Snapping Turtle....a R-T Hummingbird on its nest....first year male and female Indigo Buntings, a calling Acadian Flycatcher, and lots of Blackpoll.
We did finally have 53 species, list below

Tom
