The 113th Montauk Christmas Bird Count [NYMK] was held on Saturday (15 Dec
2012). Although there were some gaps among the regular participants this
year, we fielded six eager teams who fanned out across the abundance of
great territory that remains at this extreme eastern tip of Long Island.
A photo taken by Barbara Wasserman and received 2 days ago to us of a
juvenile drake EURASIAN WIGEON taken on Count day in Marine Park's
Gerritsen Creek from the Salt Marsh trail has increased the overall
count to 135 which ties our all time record. I am forwarding this
message from Rick
Today, Bob Hayes and I went to locate the Tufted Duck, arriving 5
min after another birder on location said it had been spooked by a
returning boat. We did see it, but a bit north of its favored
location.
We re-located the bird in the company of a second female
Lloyd Spitalnik and I looked for the previously reported Tufted Duck in
Huntington today from about 12-230pm.
We were not able to locate it.
If spotted in the AM tomorrow please let the list know, would like to give it
another go.
Good Birding!

arrived at the harbor at 10am and found the male with a female
directly across from Tutto Pazzo Restaurant. The pair were just 100 feet

caused them
A single Snow Goose with only 20 Canadas in Dam Pond on Main Rd if anyone is

Good afternoon,
I have received a number of complaints over the past few weeks concerning the
increasing use of four-letter abbreviations of bird species being reported in
postings to NYSbirds-L.
Out of consideration for most of the recipients on this eList, please do not
use abbreviated bird
The cape may is still here and spends almost the whole day in the same tree

I'm currently viewing a BARNACLE GOOSE on the south end of Belmont Lake S.P.
I'm thinking there's a good chance this could be the Wellwood individual that I
found on Saturday. I'll be driving through Wellwood soon and will report if I
locate another individual.
There is also a GREATER
