Jane F. Ross Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2011 10:36:07 -0500 Subject: [nysbirds-l] Odds and Ends from The Hamptons From: icoller...@gmail.com To: nysbirds-l@cornell.edu Had a few hours this morning to check a couple of the Montauk sights: Lazy Point, Napeague: RED KNOT (1) in the shorebird roost, LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL (1), Northern Gannet (1), Northern Harrier, but no white lumps on distant dunes. Fort Pond Bay: RED-NECKED GREBE (1) - thank you Angus Fort Pond: LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL (1) - I've also seen one a Mecox a couple of times in the last week, there seem to be quite a few hanging around out here. Deep Hollow: GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE (1) Checked a bunch of other spots too - Ice House Pond, East Lake, Rita's, etc. but didn't come up with much. The Further Lane goose flock was not present at 10am when I came past. As an FYI - I checked for the Eurasian Wigeon on Cooper's Neck Pond twice this week - once on Monday with Jim Ash, an again on Friday - dipped out both times. Doesn't mean it's not there - ducks come and go from the "loafing ponds". There is a nice selection of waterfowl on the various Southampton ponds - including on Monday a female REDHEAD on Cooper's Neck. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
