Staten Island is having rich botanical as well as zoological heritage. Previous article discussed some popular bird watching spots of Staten Island, rest popular spots are described here:

Miller Field - This is among one of the best places on Staten Island to look and listen for migrating bobolink and common nighthawk. Migrating shorebirds are visible on the widespread sport fields during fall. Savannah sparrows are easily available along the field edges in all seasons. Other popular species of birds available here are American golden plover, buff-breasted sandpiper, and whimbrel. The Miller Field beach offers a great access point to scan Raritan Bay for waterfowl, and northern gannets. During winter check the jetty at the end of New Dorp Lane for purple sandpipers, dunlin and black-bellied plovers.

Great Kills Park - The Great Kills Park is a part of Gateway National Recreation Area. The place is wonderful to visit any time in any season. Bird lovers can find great diversity of waterfowl and gulls in Great Kills Harbor, and on the Raritan Bay during Winters. The best way to get a good sample of both the waterfowl, and land birds present here is to a walk to Crooke's Point. Snow bunting and horned lark spend most of the winter in the mowed grass area near the play grounds. The number of waterfowls increase in the bay and harbor area during early spring. By late spring, the waterfowl have left, but the land bird numbers peak. The best way to find song bird migrants is a walk along the blue-dot trail that parallels Hylan Blvd. Summer slows down, but most of the nesting species are still easy to find. As fall sets in, Great Kills Park becomes a trap for south bound sparrows, thrushes, and warbler.

Blue Heron Pond Park - Birding Blue Heron at any time of year can be very rewarding for bird watchers. Resident birds are easy to find along the extensive trail system. Spring and fall migration bring the usual suite of neo-tropical migrants to the young forest of the park. Make sure to check out the most interesting point that is feeding station, which can be viewed from inside the Nature Center. Many common woodland birds visit the station year round.

Conference House Park - Birding lovers can visit the Conference House park any time of year. During Summer season you can see, the white-throated sparrow, dark-eyed juncos and raptors can be seen in the woods, and American wigeon, 2 species of loons, horned grebe, and other waterfowl can be found in the Raritan Bay.
