The female has returned to the Osprey nest at the intersection of Route 105
and Route 24 in Flanders / Riverside completing the pair. I went for a walk
at low tide along the spit that sticks out into Reeves Bay in Flanders and
saw 1 black-bellied plover (in non-breeding plumage of course) as well
How apropos, but I planned it that way: two hours in the Refuge before this evening's Jamaica Bay Task Force meeting to discuss deranged plans to expand JKF runways into Bay. Highlights were the little blue heron; ospreys mating; very close blue-winged teal; two gangs of Black-crowned night

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) started out on a raw murky day. Again, we found
evidence of new arrivals. The waterfowl mix appears to have changed since our
last visit. The West Pond was primarily filled with an estimated 1,000 SCAUP,
mostly but not all
