I attempted to see it on Saturday Morning and no luck. I also spoke to one of the homeowners at Gilgo Beach who said he last saw it 2 weeks ago on his neighbor's porch.  I guess the osprey platforms are not the only good perching areas. On Wednesday, January 22, 2014 6:09 PM, John Zucker

This morning I decided to try my luck at Belmont Lake State Park, looking for either Cackling or Barnacle goose.  After searching very hard through the geese I could not produce either species.  Best duck though were two Common Mergansers.  I did see my first of year Golden-crowned Kinglet.
