Sunken Meadow Nature Walk Recap
Today was our final Tuesday walk for the fall season. It was bright, crisp and windy. A typical fall day on the north shore of Long Island.
We had fifteen people show up to brave the NW winds on the boardwalk. The whitecaps on the sound hid any seabirds from view. Later on during the walk we had our annual look at Cedar Waxwings feeding on the berries on the bushes and trees.
We see them here every year, it’s a constant I have come to count on over the years. Sunken meadow is a very enjoyable location for a fall walk. We saw our first Buffleheads of the year also. At the end of the walk we had a close flyover Red-tailed Hawk.
See you in March.

Presidents Message 2025
Hello my little birding friends! Happy New Year! I hope it’s a good one.
There’s so many bad things going on in the world I hope it all changes. Watching the birds helps put your mind in a different and good place.
Resolutions
Robert Moses State Park is my favorite place to go birding because it is close to home and has almost infinite potential for unusual observations. Part of Long Island’s barrier beach system, this long, narrow, and relatively isolated strip of land concentrates migratory landbirds and is a boundary to the preferred flight routes of many kinds of waterbirds.
Bird Trip
An unusually small group was gifted with stellar autumn weather and a nice array of birds at the Suffolk Farm and Education Center on November 2nd.
