Sighting for September 12, 2012

Rich Kelly, Mary Normandia

Planting Fields Arboretum
Nassau County, NY

A large portion of the natural areas of the arboretum were not open to the public due to a closed set for a movie shoot (Noah’s Ark, and, yes, there is an enormous set piece ark there).
My first Long-tail in Nassau County.
