[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle, Dutchess County
On Sunday, 12/17, I saw a well marked immature Golden Eagle at Stissing Pond in Pine Plains, Dutchess County. In very dramatic fashion, the bird flew in low over the pond and through a large flock of geese that were flying into the pond at the same time. In a state of panic, the incoming geese aborted their mission and scattered in every direction. Though obviously quite nervous, the some 2,500 geese on the pond did not budge. There was also an immature Bald Eagle at the pond's far edge providing direct comparison.

[nysbirds-l] Large mixed duck flock - Patchogue village
There was a large raft of ducks (mostly scaup and buffleheads) just east of mascot dock in the village of Patchogue. The location is next to Lombardi’s on the bay, just south of shore front dock. Birds often times feeding feet from the boardwalk but also spooked easily. They were there at 10:30 AM and again at 4:00 PM -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
