The Long Island Wildlife Photography Group had another amazing week despite some gloomy weather and smoky skies from the western wildfires.   We are starting to see some signs of the Fall migration but waiting for the first cold break to get things really started.

Notable finds this week include  Roseate Spoonbill, American Golden Plover, Broad-Winged Hawk, Western Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, migrating warblers and the first winter diving duck, the Common Eider.

This week’s cover shot goes to Carl Houck with a beautiful Whimbrel.  Try to check out all 8 pages and have a great weekend!
