The Barrow's Goldeneye was present at 8:30AM this morning in Bayville on Long Island Sound opposite Centre Island Town Park. The Barrow's was not with the Common Goldeneye flocks that were further to the east near the rocks (on my Hagstrom's Atlas called Centre Island Reef), but was accompanied by an unidentified female goldeneye. The "pair" were further to the west and closer to shore. At Shu Swamp (Mill Neck Preserve) there were fifteen Rusty Blackbirds among many Robins feeding in the unfrozen portion of the freshwater marsh.
