[nysbirds-l] Kings County Rough-legged Hawks
A brief tour of Floyd Bennett Field and Canarsie Pier mid day yielded a total of 6 Rough-legged Hawks. (3 at Floyd, 1 on Canarsie Pol and 2 over the landfill off Erskine). These 6 consisted of 4 light morph and 2 dark morph. I wasn't able to check White Island in Gerritson Creek, but for the numbers people out there, it is conceivable there may be as many as 8-10 RLHA in Brooklyn. There is substantial amounts of exposed grass along the Belt Pkwy and the geese are taking full advantage. What I wasn't prepared for were the 23 Mallards feeding with them in various spots between Canarsie Pier and Farmer's Blvd. to the east. 3 Snow Geese continue at Floyd.
