I checked out Hook Pond, looking for tundra swan, where it shows up pretty reliably each year. No swans, but 1 greater white-fronted goose among several hundred Canada. It had a pinkish-gray bill, no orange evident. Also present, 1 grey ghost, 1 bald eagle (like several other spots on LI, you can expect to see bald eagle in East Hampton year round now), 8 hooded grebe, 3 common mergansers, 4 gadwall, several black ducks and a few mallard.
