Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge 7 February Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at the West Pond at 7:05 AM to find Debbie Martin focused on the BARROW'S GOLDENEYE. Soon joined by others for great looks, the Goldeneyes took off at 7:18. There had been at least 50 COMMON GOLDENEYES on the pond with a dozen still remaining. Walking back to the car, we found our FOS RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD singing from the top of a tree.
Floyd Bennett Field The target Bluebird Box had an adult AMERICAN KESTREL perched on it, but the Northern Shrike was not found. Extensive looks from along the shore (Archery and Fisherman Fields) failed to locate the Eurasian Wigeon among the 100+ AMERICAN WIGEON scattered throughout. While driving about we saw our FOS COMMON GRACKLE.
