It's been a week since Dick Belanger (via Carl Starace) first reported this
Pacific Loon on 26 Nov, and in this time a fair number of people have
resighted it, sometimes at close range. Evidently, these encounters can be
quite hit or miss (much like the Virginia's Warbler), with some folks

Hi,
I am thinking of trying for the Virginia's Warbler on Wednesday (5th December),
this will be my first opportunity since it was found to get there. If anyone
else is thinking of trying that day, send me an email as it seems like team
work may be the best option.
All the best,

Morning spent birding at Croton Point Park in Westchester County offered some
nice highlights including: 330+ Snow Geese on high flyover heading SE at 9:50
am, a Peregrine Falcon bathing in large puddle by ball field before entrance,
large Am. Pipit flock (42 seen today) continuing on landfill,
Congratulations Mr. Taylor!
Birders, please see Mr. Taylor's note (see below), on where the *Virginia's
Warbler* was seen today at *Alley Pond Park*.

Jones Beach West End: 3 December
The beach fauna appears to be in a winter pattern. Except for a single flock
of winter finches moving through, things appear to be settling down.
Shorebirds on the bar (it's silting in again) consist of about 20
Oystercatchers, 250 Dunlin, 150 Black-bellied
As of about 2:00 PM, there was a drake Eurasian Wigeon along the southeast
edge of St. John's Pond in Cold Spring Harbor. The bird recalled the
Eurasian Wigeon that I found earlier this season on Lotus Lake in Sayville,
showing patches of pale gray wash filling in along the birds flanks and
sides.
As of this morning (12/3), the Barnacle Goose was still there, and at
least 4 Canadas had yellow neck bands (didn't get the numbers). The
Horned Larks stopped by, as well.
