Following my early encounter with a drake and hen Eurasian Wigeons at Brooklyn
Army Terminal Pier 4.
I continued working a few more spots all in Brooklyn. The following are
highlights.
7 Purple Sandpipers - Gravesend Bay (Middle Parking Lot). Not many Gulls around
due to increased foot traffic in the area. The Purple Sandpipers are always a
treat to observe.
Taking a break from enjoying those birds, I scoped out 2 RED-NECKED GREBES.
Also of note in the same area was an Osprey which came in off the water.
At Dreier Offerman Park, the highlights were 2 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS, 1
LAUGHING GULL, 1 Merlin, 4 Eastern Phoebes, 1 Great Egret, 15 Golden-crowned
Kinglets, 2 Palm Warblers and 13 Killdeers.
At Coney Island Creek, the highlights were several breeding plumage Horned
Grebes, 1 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and 1 ICELAND GULL (looked a bit bleached
out)
Lots of Northern Flicker on the move in several of the spots I covered.
Cheers,
--------
