Re: [nysbirds-l] Update Iceland Gull, Croton/OssinIng Hudson River shorelines
Possibly the bird will reappear today at low tide at Croton RR station. Low tide is around 3:00 - 4:30. Meanwhile, some gull experts asked me, does anyone else have photos of the open wings?

Bob Lewis relocated it back at Croton RR station in waters b/n salt shed and Rt 9/9a bridge. (Some of us had nice looks there.) Around 4:50pm, the bird flew back S again toward OssinIng.

[nysbirds-l] Cackling Geese - Hendrickson Park, Valley Stream, Nassau County
A loop around the lake at Hendrickson Park revealed two different Cackling Geese among the wintering flocks of Canadas. One is a recognizable, returning individual, back for (at least) its fourth consecutive winter alongside a small Canada Goose that it is always closely associated with. Perhaps they are a mated pair contributing hybrids to the wild mix of variation in this species complex. Notes on the specific field marks for both Cacklers are included with my eBird checklist, for anyone who wants a more detailed search image to follow up. https://ebird.org/checklist/S61327706 Cheers! -Tim H -- 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/ --
