[nysbirds-l] Banded Ring-billed Gull, Long Island

Leg bands: right leg had one blue band ~1.5 cm tall with white letters reading A1L vertically with an aluminum USFWS aluminum band on left leg.

[nysbirds-l] Miller's Pond - Smithtown
While conducting some field research earlier today I passed by Miller's Pond, situated off of Maple Avenue in Smithtown. The pond contained the largest group of ring-necked ducks I have ever seen together in one place - 406 birds male and female birds in total. As might be expected this time of year, they appeard to be paired up. Also watched two common mergansers regularly diving amidst the flock of ring-necked ducks. Two fish crows were calling back and forth from trees edging the parking lot, one of which was making a hard-to-describe groanlike or moanlike vocalization I have never heard fish crows make before.

[nysbirds-l] Tree Swallows at Jones Beach/West End (Nassau Co.)
While birding down at West End this morning, Sue and i observed three Tree Swallows flying west of the entrance to the Coast Guard Station over the dunes and parkway. Also present was a calling Killdeer, while the two plovers (Piping and Semipalmated) continue at the north end of the West End jetty. A single Razorbill was in the inlet. Viewing conditions on the ocean and inlet were poor, owing to the strong winds and choppy seas.

[nysbirds-l] Camman's Pond, Merrick & Mill Pond park, Wantagh
Camman's Pond, Merrick & Mill Pond park, Wantagh; 27 Feb Driving east on Merrick Road, I stopped by both of the above spots and found the usual suspects. Lots of waterfowl, but no Wood Ducks. When I reached the north end of Mill Pond, I heard the unmistakable loud call of a COMMON RAVEN. I looked and found it flying over head heading east. Otherwise sunny with too much wind to head down to the beach.
