Today, in the small area of open water the lone duck turned out to be a female Redhead. Viewed from the Islip Pavilion on the west/southwest side of the lake. This is a first for me for this species at this location.
Additionally, the Eurasian Wigeon is still at the Mill Pond in Sayville. Also of note a juv. Snow Goose and Cackling Goose were seen on the golf course of the VA in Northport on Friday. The snow goose continues from the "Northport Count" a few weeks ago. Birding their can be tricky. The snow goose was seen like a beacon when driving on Middleville Road. There is a parking area right when you turn in to get a quick scope view, turned out a Cackling was mixed in as well. -Dave -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
