Winter Birds on Long Island….DUCKS, DUCKS, DUCKS!!  It’s that time of year again. 

It’s gotten colder, the leaves are off the trees, and our colorful migrating birds have passed through.  Those warblers may have left us, but winter brings us glorious waterfowl, all decked out in their mating colors.  Wonderful ducks and geese dominate our birdwatching days, along with hawks and owls.  We also welcome such winter Long Island Birds as White Throated Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, Juncos, and begin to watch for winter flocking behavior (Robins, Chickadees, etc.). 

Snow, ice and wind will dominate the weather, and it may be hard for us to stay warm , but does that stop us??  No Way!!  Get out those thermals and warm coats and do some Birding on Long Island….

GO BIRDWATCHING!!
