While this is definitely out of our area, it is worth noting that the Ross'
Gull was still present today in Chambly, Quebec, although not at the waste
water treatment plant lagoons where it has typically been seen since it's
discovery on November 10th. Rob Bate and I found it via distant scope

Considering the tremendous rarity of the Ross’s Gull in Eastern North
America I decided to make the 400 mile one way trip to see this bird. This
bird
was reported in partial breeding plumage, that is pink, and its location,
just north of the NY state border at Chambly
I had a White-eyed Vireo at Southards Pond in Babylon today. This bird was very
active around the entrance to the Park just north of the tennis courts. I am
fairly new to birding here but this seemed quite late for the species.
A photo is on my flickr site here:
Eastbound Sunrise Highway (Rt. 27) in town of Brookhaven in Suffolk
county-about 1/4 mile before exit 58 where the Carmens River crosses under
highway.
BALD EAGLE kiting over highway. Hopefully part of the same pair scoping
nesting location down in Wertheim. I pulled off to watch it for a few
