Hi all: Great day birding yesterday at Montauk. Had great weather, mid 50's,
quite windy but great anyway. Myself and 7 other birders had 54 species of
birds, although I won't name all of them here, some of the most notable ones
were: Dovekies (Lifer for me), Razorbills, Bonaparte's gulls, Common Eiders,
all 3 Scoters, White-winged Crossbills. We also visited St. John's Pond and
seen the Tufted Duck ( Lifer for me) which is still there, along with the
Eurasian Widgeon and some Redhead Ducks. One tough thing to watch was a Great-
black backed Gull killing and eating a Dovekie.
