The male *Barrow's Goldeneye* continued today (1/23) on the sound viewed across from the Centre Island police booth. It was in a flock of approximately 70 Common Goldeneye, with many more Common Goldeneye along Bayville all the way to Stehli and Ransom Beaches. Also of note in the area were the *~20,000* Greater Scaup in the sound off Morgan Park in Glen Cove.
On the Oyster Bay Mill Pond on the corner of Lake Avenue and West Main Street in Oyster Bay (Nassau Co.) there were about 12 Northern Pintails, and on Tung Ting Pond on the corner of Centershore Road and 25a in Centerport (Suffolk Co.) there were approximately 75 Canvasbacks, 5 Lesser Scaup and 2 Redheads. However, these numbers were way down from the *147* Canvasbacks I counted at this location on 1/19. In Sunken Meadow State Park (Suffolk Co.) there was a blue phase *Snow Goose* along the road between the two main parking fields, and 3 American Coots, 2 Lesser Scaup and 10 Common Mergansers in the marsh as viewed from the entrance bridge to the park.
