eBird list from this afternoon: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S41592544 With thanks to Charlie Roberto for heads up on this. Charlie also spotted American Wigeon and Lesser Scaup earlier today. (Can access Aqueduct Road off Route 134 just E of Taconic Parkway in Town of Yorktown. Take care stopping and walking on this narrow road along the reservoir shoreline since some people drive rather fast on this road.
