[nysbirds-l] Red-necked Grebes at Robert Moses SP and Oak Beach (Suffolk, LI)
It seems like there has been a sizeable movement of Red-necked Grebes into Long Island waters over the past couple of days. This morning, before the snow made viewing impossible, Tim Dunn and I watched 16 Red-necked Grebes fly west past Robert Moses field 2 (in a 45 minute period late morning), in small groups up to 3. Earlier in the morning we also found 6 at nearby Oak Beach, 2 on the water and 4 flying high west together. A very pleasing total for a small area. It will be interesting to see totals from other areas as this develops.
