[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End/ Point Lookout: ducks, horned grebe
Hi Everyone, I visited the Jones Beach Coast Guard Station this afternoon - besides Brant and double-crested comorants, saw about a dozen Red-Breasted Mergansers inside the sandbar area (my FOS) and a few small flocks of Long Tailed Ducks on the outside of the sandbar. (Also saw a seal by Field 10) *Just a FYI that I did not attempt to find the reported Shrike. I stopped by Point Lookout and saw common loons scattered around, a mixed flock of common eider and black scoter, numerous sanderlings and dunlin, a lone white winged scoter flying in the distance, and a horned grebe (all between the eastern-most restroom building and the inlet) Good birding, Rob (Massapequa) -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
