Starting with the pair of Ospreys atop their nest (at least 3rd year in a row) 
at the smelly, noisy, and busy intersection of Flanders Rd. (Rt. 24) & Rt. 105, 
Flanders, and ending with Buffleheads in Mecox Bay, Thursday's birding, with my 
eldest daughter Susan, was fun, even though it was raining most of the time. 
Susan, and granddaughter Isabelle, visiting from Evanston, Il., almost 
literally, spent much of today at opposite ends of L.I. While we were out east, 
"Nanny" & "Issy" traveled west to the "big city". While they stopped at Grand 
Central Station, The NYC Public Library, the Flower Show at Macy's, 
Rockerfeller Center & St. Patrick's Cathedral, and eating in a diner which 
featured singing waiters, we stopped at Short's Pond, Bridgehampton, with the 
sharp eyed Susan spotting "a goose that was smaller than the rest", which 
became her "life" Richardson's Cackling Goose. Before leaving that location, 
she also picked up 2 more new species, A. Wigeon & Ruddy Duck.At Montauk Inlet 
she added G. Cormorant & C. Eider (3 adult males swimming inside) to that list. 
Ditto for Black Scoters, White-winged Scoters, and Red-breasted Merganser at 
Ditch Plains. Black Duck at the village park on David's La., and 13-20 W. 
Turkeys off Georgica Rd. (both in E. Hampton) were also "lifer's" for my game 
daughter ! 
Cheers, Bob
