Today, September 27 i took a trip to cavits cove in montauk. I spotted many gulls but could not specify the exact species. A few birds i could spot were a horned grebe which is a duck-like bird. It consists of a reddish neck an black cheek. The bill is short and very thin. Another bird i spotted and could identify was a Black & White Warbler. This is one of the many species of warber, the only difference is this one is very small. The colors consist of black and white striped plumage and a striped crown. this bird was spotted right outside my house which makes me think it is a very common bird to be seen in the northeast region of long island. As well as spotting these birds i happend to spot a house wren. This bird can mainly be found in places were people are, such as small towns, garages, nestboxes and even your house. This bird is very small and compact and has a very short wingspan. this birds primary food is insects that it comes across while patrolling the ground. Its nape to rump is a dark brown and from its auricular down through the throat and to the bottom of its belly is a light auburn color.
