[nysbirds-l] Oceanside MNSA, Nassau County 10 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks
Hi All! Right as I was walking the trail back to leave mmsa at closing time I saw a flock of black bellied whistling ducks land just behind and to the left of the the osprey nest. I imagine the birds were at the golf course and something must have spooked them and they all flew into the Marine Nature Center. Watching the flock of 10 Birds with their bright beaks flying together was quite a sight. The birds appeared to be getting sleepy and started lying low in the grass soon after. It's a good thing I was just kind of surveying the area looking for salt marsh and seaside sparrows as that had me looking in the right direction when the Ducks came in -Kev -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
