For those trying to catch the Barrow's in the morning before it flies out keep in mind that the West Pond is now a tidal lagoon and high tide was around 9 today. Last week I made the mistake of trying when it was low tide and there were 0 Goldeneyes on the "pond" pre-dawn. The North Channel and South channels were also extremeIy low and I could not find the Barrow's in either also.
I would think the best days to look are when the high tide is between 5-8 a.m. Shane Blodgett Brooklyn NY Sent from my iPhone On Jan 13, 2013, at 7:26 AM, Andrew Baksh <birdingd...@gmail.com> wrote: > Despite foggy conditions, Eric Miller and I just enjoyed looks at the > continuing Drake Barrow's Goldeneye at Jamaica Bay West Pond. > > Unfortunately, the Goldeneyes are already on the move.
