On Saturday Sue and I had seven Red-necked Grebes at Montauk Pt. and three at Shinnecock Inlet. Besides a female King Eider at the Point there was little else but waterfowl. Passerines, with the exception of American Robin, were largely missing. Also notably missing were blackbirds (we had one Red-winged Blackbird), which in most years we would expect in number by the end of February.
