From: rada...@msn.com To: nysbirds-l-requ...@cornell.edu Subject: Barrow's Goldeneye Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 01:50:48 -0500 Due to NYSOA's Pelagic Trip (out of Freeport) being cancelled for Sunday, many people headed out to Montauk, in the hope of at least getting their alcids by land ! Our group, was made up mostly of "up-staters", one of whom, sometime later this week, will post only those species that we might have seen, but have not been reported by the other groups. Because of the long rides back home they were all facing, they left fairly early. I stayed on and was rewarded with 3 Great Cormorants ( 2 adults, with prominent white patches), the Western Tanager, and the drake Barrows Goldeneye that had previously been reported from Long Beach, Noyac. (the ice has all melted) tCheers, Bob , -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
