Hi Everyone, I was at Mill Pond, Wantagh, Massapequa Lake and Preserve today. Most notable sighting was a hybrid wigeon at the Massapequa Preserve at the pond by Pittsburgh Ave. (around 4pm) I believe this is the same one I saw there last year with 3 Eurasian Wigeon. The female Eurasian previously seen there early this November was new to me - only saw drakes and the hybrid last year. Also present were Hooded Mergansers, American Wigeon, Gadwall, White Throated and Song Sparrows, Goldfinches, Carolina Wrens and a sharp-shinned hawk. I'll post pics on my blog longislandbirding.blogspot.com later this evening.
