Joe Giunta and I (SY Schiff) reviewed a list of target birds to get Joe over 300 NYS Birds for 2011. Success and then some!!! So, we started in Brooklyn, finding the ROSS'S GOOSE at Floyd Bennett Field.
Arriving at Jones Beach West End, we searched and found the ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER as previously reported. Thanks Shai (at the spot) and Andrew.(for the phone call). At West Lake in Patchogue, we found the EURASIAN WIGEON at the far north end (thanks to directions from Shai). And it only rained when we were driving, never when we left the car to look. Three for three (Yeah).
