22 Jan Brooklyn Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, Pat Jones and I (Sy Schiff) stopped at Jamaica Bay WR, walked around to the area facing the channel and after some searching found the BARROW'S GOLDENEYE in with Common Goldeneye, far out in the water. A flock of about 50 SNOW GEESE flew into the west pond on our return. Of other interest were 16 NORTHERN PINTAIL seen in and behind the reeds from bench 7 or 8. We then proceeded to search the ocean front in numerous spots, without any success, from Plumb Beach, Manhattan Beach, Coney Island all the way to the boardwalk's end. The best of this part of our day turned out to be-- franks at Nathan's.
