Brooklyn continues to turn up some good winter birds. Some highlights from this
morning:
Veteran's Memorial Pier (Bay Ridge Avenue at Shore Road)
A drake Eurasian Wigeon close to the rocks by the wastewater treatment plant.
Parking lot by the Verrazano Bridge
A pair of White-winged Scoters What I presume to be the variant of Common
Goldeneye female with a mostly yellow bill. See link to photo below.
Coney Island Creek Park
A continuing Lesser Black-backed Gull13 Snow BuntingsGood numbers of the more
common sea ducks.A single Bonaparte's Gull but no sign of last weekend's
Black-head Gull.
Running out of time I diverted away without looking in on the beach by Leon
Kaiser Park where Dennis Hrehowsik and co found the continuing Glaucous Gull
shortly afterwards.
