[nysbirds-l] Oak Beach Barrow's Goldeneye - Yes

[nysbirds-l] South Fork birds (and bats)

The black guillemot and iceland gull continue at Lake Montauk. I didn't find the black-headed or little gull at Ditch Plains, but there were 3 purple sandpipers in with the sanderlings. But the highlight for me was seeing a bat, presumably a little brown bat, working the insects over a small pond

[nysbirds-l] Additional South Shore birds

The American Bittern at JFK Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary continues. It flushed from a channel away from the lot and flew towards the roadside marsh. Jones had a nice spread of expected winter species, including three Razorbills off the end of the jetty. I caught up with Harlequin Ducks at Point

The large grebe which was earlier reported to ebird as a Western Grebe is now thought to be a Clark's Grebe per Tim Lenz and Brad Walker!  This appears to be the First State Record! Hope it sticks! Menachem -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm
