Summer Feeder Survey

The old adage “Spring has Sprung” is so true, one day it’s winter and the next day blossoms are “springing” up from the ground and blanketing trees, and birds are “springing” into their mating songs. 

This is the last survey report for this season, thank you to everyone who participated, and I look forward to hearing from you again in the fall. For the last two months of our 2021 survey, we had 11 participants, Banaszak, Cafarelli, Fogarty, Kremer-Parrott, Merryman, Preisinger, Ratcliffe, Sorenson, Weissman, Wilson and Unterschuetz. Nine areas were represented, Babylon, Brightwaters, Blue Point, Deer Park, Lindenhurst, Medford, North Babylon, West Islip, and West Sayville. ]
