[nysbirds-l] Birds on the East End
This morning Peter Polshek and I birded from Montauk to Hook Pond, Easthampton. The ROSS' GOOSE and a lame Cackling Goose were found at Deep Hollow ranch in the field south of the highway. At the Point itself, there were 12000+ seaducks plus 60 Razorbills. At Startop Estate along East Lake Drive we found an immature NORTHERN SHRIKE. At the Lake Montauk Inlet, we saw a Red-necked Grebe and a SNOWY OWL. Another SNOWY OWL was at Lazy Point in Napeague, along with the amazing "Larry" (an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull). At Hook Pond, 2 Tundra Swans continue, and all three Mergansers were present I heard from Angus Wilson that an adult BLACK-HEADED GULL was present at Sagaponack Pond, both yesterday and today.
