It was a bit scary driving Uncas Rd. today, and I suspect the town will

I led a pelagic out of Brooklyn to the "Mud Hole" region yesterday.
Wind gusts from the south west made birding a bit challenging, but we
saw some good stuff. Highlights included 10's of thousands of Black
Scoter and 10's of thousands of Oldsquaw, Gannets, Razorbills, Jaeger
sp. and Iceland
My friend Mark Schwartz reported he saw a flock of 4 Monk Parakeets in
Freeport, NY yesterday afternoon. I went to Shawangunk Grasslands NWR with my

On Sunday morning, there was a large raft stretched along the shoreline in the
