This morning I birded Jamaica Bay with a group from Bedford Audubon, led by Tait Johansson. We were able to relocate the drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE far out in the bay, visible from the west end of the West Pond, associating with Commons. Also nice was a flock of 32 SNOW GEESE that flew right overhead.
We stopped at Floyd Bennett Field but could not find the previously reported Lapland Longspurs, though there was a flock of Horned Larks present, along with two hunting American Kestrels.
