3/6/12 Janet Akin, sister of Nancy Loomis (homeowner), reported that the Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch showed up at 6:26 a.m. this morning. Nancy sent me a message that a TV crew from Channel 7 out of Watertown is on the way to her house! Little does the rosy finch know how famous it is becoming!

Had a few hours to spare in the middle of the day. Jones Beach West-End produced 5 HARLEQUIN DUCKS (1 male), a single RAZORBILL, a RED-NECKED GREBE and good numbers of Red-throated Loons. The only migrants were 6 Killdeer on the road-divide and a single TREE SWALLOW near the Fishermen's Trail.
