5 Jan Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, Debbie Martin and I (SY Schiff) went looking for the Mew Gull without success. Our consolation birds wwere Purple Sandpipers on the rocks and Common Goldeneye on the water.
Moving toward home, we stopped at the entrance to Kingsboro Community College for the Monk Parakeets and then moved on to Spring Creek. There we saw Cooper's and Red-tailed Hawks plus 2 circling Killder. On the side opposite the shopping center and outlet of the waste treatment plant (which keeps the water open) we saw a good variety of ducks including several Canvasbacks, a Kingfisher and a Black-crowned Night-Heron Cold, but good birding, SY -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
