There's now a Red-necked Grebe in the West Marina at Point Lookout / Lido
Beach in Nassau County. This is just west of the terminus of the Loop
Parkway. The RNG on Alley Pond in Queens continues. Two Pine Warblers there

On Saturday Sue and I had seven Red-necked Grebes at Montauk Pt. and three at
Shinnecock Inlet. Besides a female King Eider at the Point there was little
else but waterfowl. Passerines, with the exception of American Robin, were
largely missing. Also notably missing were blackbirds (we had one R
It seems like there has been a sizeable movement of Red-necked Grebes into Long

if that is the case.
There are 2 this afternoon on Argyle Lake in Babylon that are absolute
stunners. They ranged widely around the lake, occasionally together but came
really close at times allowing for great vie
It might be a big deal in another winter, but I'll report it anyway. There
were two Red-necked Grebes on the Mill River, by the East Rockaway (Nassau)
train station this afternoon. Last week's Canvasbacks were gone, but two
female Common Goldeneyes remain. Also out of place this far upriver are

There have been a lot of recent reports of Red-necked Grebes in locations where
they're not seen often, like rivers on Long Island. I read that the Great lakes
are 75% frozen over, so this is probably driving them south. A similar event
happened maybe 10 -15 years ago when they showed up in man
