[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose and Bronx Redheads...
The Randall's Island Barnacle Gooses continues. Observed in the creek and
on the field near the indoor tennis facilities. It was hanging out with a
mixed flock of Brandt's and Canada Geese.
In the Bronx, just off Hunters Island (near Orchard Beach), I came across a
rather impressive raft of an estimated 4000 Scaup most of which were
Greater. In the mix were two drake Redheads and 1 female Canvasback.
I spent over and hour sifting through the flock a few times but did not see
the Eurasian Wigeon that was reported with the Scaup. In fact, I did not
have any Wigeons at all in the area I was searching.
Cheers!
