We spent the day birding on the east end, starting our day at Montauk Pt. The
point had numerous Common Eider and scoters but very few other species. We
missed Razorbill entirely and had only one Red-throated Loon. Hoping it would

As far as I know, it was not seen today at Alley Pond. I know it was looked
for this morning, but there were much fewer geese than yesterday at a
comparable time of the morning. Based on the previous reports, it would seem
that the geese were roosting there, making the early morning the best time.
The Ross' Goose was foraging with about 300 Canadas and Brants on the
ballfields just south of Baisley Pond. The fields are part of the BP Park
and I guess the roost on the water and ice on the pond and forage on the
fields during the day.

deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the
date the species was added by county. Some are from newly submitted
checklists
