Miller Field is the best place on Staten Island to look and listen for migrating common nighthawk and bobolink. In fall, migrating shorebirds can be found on the vast sport fields. American golden plover, buff-breasted sandpiper, and whimbrel have been found here. Savannah sparrows are common along the field edges in every season but winter. The 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.
