Sandy Hook has been really good for the rare or uncommon bird sightings this spring. It’s location and habitat seem perfect for the last second relaxation or energy refueling stop before heading north. Over the last year the “Hook” gave Jeanette and I some firsts for us like Ash-throated Flycatcher, Western Kingbird, and Townsend’s Solitaire. Today I got another personal life bird with a great looking Western Grebe. Through pretty far out, (as shown in the “Lockness” like picture quality above :)) nice scope views were had and plenty of time spent enjoying the view. June of 08 off to a good start! OH! And BTW I had three Grasshopper Sparrows at Negri Napote on the way home from Sandy Hook! My first of the year.
