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.
