[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Wigeons @ Jamaica Bay East Pond Queens County

2016-01-01 Thread Andrew Baksh 
Wrapping up a January 1st 2016 day of birding, I decided I would leave some 
juice in the tank for tomorrow's Southern Nassau CBC and so spent the late 
afternoon sifting through the multitude of waterfowl on the East Pond at 
Jamaica Bay.

While I could not turn any of the two Scaup species into something rarer, I did 
manage to see two drake Eurasian Wigeons. Very likely the continuing 
birds--although, (I think) only one was being reported as of late.  Lisa 
Scheppke, was able to get on one when she joined me later scoping from the 
overlook. She also reported a flyby Raven on her way in to the East Pond.

Cheers,
