This morning I took a trip to see if I could spot the Eurasion Wigeon in
Setauket. I got there and scoped almost all of the bay without luck. Many
American Wigeon were out and about though. Then as I was leaving I passed a
small cove and in it fed a flock of about forty American Wigeon and amongst
the flock was the Eurasian Wigeon.
Yesterday(December 26) I visited Sunken Meadow State Park. The
highlights included a female Northern Harrier hunting over the Dunes near Field
3, a single Killdeer along the edge of the exposed mudflats, a cold Snowy Egret
hunting in the Inner Marsh, and 32 Northern Gannet plunge-diving on the Long
Island Sound. I also enjoyed watching a immature Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker foraging very close to me on a tree.
