[nysbirds-l] King Eider still present Keibal Rd Whitney Point Reservoir late this afternoon 11/10/2020
All, The KING EIDER was farther up the shore on the Whitney Point Reservoir as seen from Keibal Rd this afternoon on a gloriously warm sunny day. The bird was farther offshore too and frequently diving. The exact location where I had the bird today was 42.352361°N and 75.980250°W. The bird was slowly working its way south again a little farther offshore. I also had a flyover COMMON REDPOLL my first in Broome Co in a few years. The bird unfortunately flew right toward the sun so I couldn't get a flight photo. I also heard a PINE SISKIN as well. I thought I heard evening grosbeaks too but they were so distant I am not 100% sure. It was pretty quiet for songbirds. I didn't even get an american goldfinch! But there was an AMERICAN TREE SPARROW that was calling and occasionally singing a little which was cool near the end of the road.
