Bird continued all day today, much closer in literally just to the right of Deans Bridge. Also of note was a male Rusty Blackbird feeding on the ice with Robins as well as atleast 35 newly arrived Wood Ducks.

Unfortunately the area of open water it was in was obscured by many trees and the bird vanished just as I attempted to digiscope it with my phone. This is the first time I've ever had one at this spot but considering the recent incursion I was suspecting one would show up. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
