I took a walk around the Squassax Landing marina (Brookhaven Hamlet) this

Harrier over the marshes and a small cluster of coots around the entrance
to the marina (with a few buffleheads). A couple of coots were inside the

Most days that I look at gulls in parking lots, an off colored Herring Gull
has to pass for an interesting one. Not the case today. First it was the
adult ICELAND GULL that I reported earlier from Point Lookout. While I

"Bronx Brendan", Glen, Mike and I birded Hunter Island, Pelham Bay Park, Bronx
this morning. The conditions were finally decent, with good visibility, little
wind, somewhat sunny skies and moderating temperatures.
Present were:
12 Goldeneye
75+ Greater Scaup
50+ Brant
8 Red-breasted Merganser
A female Barrow's Goldeneye continues at Oak Beach Suffolk County.
Being observed from Oak Beach road with Doug Futumya, Eric Miller and
Patricia Lindsay.
