The Ross's Goose continues in the area. Today it was seen at Floyd Bennett
Field in the grassy area between the main parking lot and the community

Sheepshead Bay news blog regarding a Snowy Owl:
These were taken by a friend of mine, who also
is an avid fisherman in the area. He was fishing
just next to Hoffman Island, which is one of the
