Requires some patience as the bird would disappear for periods. Other notable birds in the area include, about 300 Snow Buntings. Observed well with Ken and Sue Fuestel. Don't start none, won't be none ~ Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device! Andrew

Today, I observed the immature Red-headed Woodpecker that has taken up residence in my yard and my neighbor’s yard since November 22nd. Since I first saw it on the 22nd, it spends all its time caching food in the various large oak trees on the properties. It never comes to any of the suet

Drake King Eider patrolling along Fort Tilden shore today. It was moving eastwards with a small flock of mergansers, heading towards Riis, when we saw it around noon. I think the large group of Audubon/Linnaean/Littoral New Year's Day walkers must have seen it as well. Happy New Year!

Had a good start to a New Year of birding with several nice sightings in Brooklyn. At Coney Island a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and first year GLAUCOUS GULL continue on the Coney Island Creek side of the peninsula. In addition, there was a RED-NECKED GREBE feeding in the rip off of Norton Point.
