The pond in question. Inexplicably, Google has labeled it with the name of the larger pond to the east. The "Tung Ting" appellation stems from the name of a restaurant once situated there. Google Maps -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

At around 6:00 PM today there was a single male Eurasian Wigeon on Tung Ting Pond on the corner of Centershore Road and 25a.  This pond can be viewed from the parking lot for the Chalet Motor Inn.  The bird was molting into breeding plumage. Brent Bomkamp Northport, NY -- NYSbirds-L
