A pre-storm visit at midday today. As expected the Point was quiet, Common Eider and all three Scoters in low numbers (50-150), no Gannets, few Common Loons, even fewer Red-throated, a few Horned Grebes, and 4 Razorbills.
At Lake Montauk from South Lake Drive I was able to relocate both BARROW'S GOLDENEYE (drake and hen) which have been present since 2 January. They were in the southwest corner of the "Lake" associating with a small flock of Common Goldeneye. At the end of West Lake Drive at the base of the jetty ere the two Iceland Gulls (adult and 1st year) that been frequenting the beach for quite a while. That's about it. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be more interesting at the Point after a night of east winds. -- 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/ --
