Spent a little time at Jamaica Bay this morning in the rain - both ponds
are now largely frozen but the duck seem to be hanging around. The
EURASIAN WIGEON was in a small hole in the ice on the East Pond at around
noon (I'd checked earlier and not seen it). Best viewed from the Big John's
Pond

I forgot to include the two species of duck that were seen, Greater
Scaup and Common Goldeneye.
I will also note that the list I posted was the list for everyone
aboard, about 50 people, and not everyone saw all the species.
If anyone saw anything that was or wasn't on the list I posted feel
Thanks for posting this Joseph! As a heads-up to birders who were unable to
attend this past Sunday's eco-cruise, there will be another one on Sunday, Feb.

Bonaparte's gull, and sanderlings.

Spent the morning and all afternoon traversing the Brooklyn shoreline,
accessing as many spots as possible to view Upper and Lower New York Bay (also
known as Gravesend) and Gowanus Bay. It rained hard at times but the wind was
mercifully light and I was able to stay fairly dry with the use of
Today, between 3:30 and 5:00pm, Clara Montenegro and I checked the Beacon train

Good Birding,

I had not been to Jones Inlet since the Southern Nassau CBC and wanted to see
what changes in the Inlet's bird populations may have occurred as a result of
the recent cold spell. Upon arrival at the Fisherman's Parking Lot there were
clearly more Bonaparte's Gulls then my early January visit.
This morning from approx. 8:45-9:30am, I observed the (Kumlien's) Iceland Gull
