Drake Barrow's Goldeneye just seen from the runway north of the boat ramp at Floyd Bennett Field. I walked out to the beach heading a little south before scoping the bay. The bird was in the company of 4 female and 2 drake Common Goldeneyes at a good distance. For field reference - there was a smoke stack in my FOV via scope in the distance and I believe the flock was drifting to the right of Ruffle Bar. Good luck if you try for it. Good and responsible birding! Andrew Baksh Queens NY www.birdingdude.blogspot.com
