I feared the swifts had already abandoned this area for parts south. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was an odd one for late August in New York State: a Black Scoter , one of an even dozen hanging out at the Coast Guard Station at Jones Beach State Park.

This means that there were nearly thirty of us making our way up the dirt track past long-abandoned quarries to get the area where the woodpeckers are normally found. Then my iPhone started ringing, which was weird, because pretty much everyone I know knew I was in Hungary and who would be calling me at 11 PM in New York and 5 AM in Hungary?
