A large flock of snow geese has arrived at the Jamaica Bay NWR. 200+ geese were in the salt marshes west of West Pond at 2:30pm. I entered 200 snow geese into e-bird, and e-bird considers this an unusual sighting, so I'm passing it on.
Also at the refuge were a great cormorant and 1+ common mergansers, both first of season for me. -- 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 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
