This Common Tern youngster was on an exposed spit of sand at low tide at West Meadow Beach in Setauket. He and several other similarly aged birds were standing around waiting for their parents to bring them breakfast. Today’s youth. None of them want to go out and work for themselves. JK

This is my first Orchard Oriole. I saw it at Avalon Preserve in one of the fields west of the barn. I knew it was something new (to me) when I saw it, but it wasn’t until I got home and perused my Sibley’s that I could identify it. Then I sent the pics to my friends at Four Harbors Audubon and they confirmed my guess. Those birding folks are very helpful. JK
