[nysbirds-l] CORRECTION: Now 6 Eurasian Wigeon, West Sayville Golf Course (Suffolk)
There are now 6 EURASIAN WIGEON on the pond at West Sayville Golf Course. 3 drakes and 3 hens. My earlier suspicion of more than 1 hen wouldn't rest so I returned to the site at 2:40. The birds were much easier to detail this time around as they were spread out on the pond, rather than a tight knit herd on the grasses. Michael McBrien and I noted 3 hen Eurasian Wigeons at this location on 1/1/13, along with 1 continuing drake. So it is apparent that these birds are all continuing with the recent addition of 2 drakes. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/39025168@N07/ Best, Derek Rogers Sayville Begin forwarded message: > From: Derek Rogers > Date: January 20, 2013, 9:24:59 AM EST > To: NY Bird List List > Subject: 4 Eurasian Wigeon, West Sayville Golf Course (Suffolk) > Out and about doing dome waterfowl counts I just had 4 EURASIAN WIGEONS on > the main pond at West Sayville Golf Course. > > 3 drakes and at least 1 hen.
