Sketches of birds at Jones Beach

We had a birders conference in New York and as part of it, there were several bird walks offered along the beaches.  It was a cloudy crisp morning, the wind was gusting along the shore, and we weren't dressed for it, another layer would have helped.
There were people from the city, upstate and out east, and they knew their birds by their calls, even their Latin names.  They were very helpful, and I never knew the area was such a hot bed for migratory birds!  I took alot of photos and sketched from them, along with the help of field guides.
