[nysbirds-l] Possible Pacific Loon Marine Park, Brooklyn

2017-02-05 Thread Adrian Burke
The previously reported bird is visible now from the little boardwalk overlook on the east side of the water, south of the osprey nest. The bird is distant, but looks like the possible pacific loon reported recently here. Unfortunately I don't have a scope, so my views are not good. Adrian Burke
