A fairly gusty wind from the NW made for a crisp morning of birding yesterday. Here are some of the highlights:
2 ICELAND GULL - both gulls were seen around the Montauk Harbor/inlet area near Gosman's. One of the gulls was a 3rd winter bird and the other was younger, possibly a 2nd winter. Hearing previous reports of an adult means that there are most likely 3 Iceland gulls in this area. The GREAT CORMORANT was seen on the east jetty at inlet perched on the light tower. 19 RAZORBILL - in about one half hour at the point. GREATER WHITE FRONTED GOOSE was at its usual location across from Deep Hollow Ranch. I ran into a group from Philadelphia who reported a DOVEKIE off the Point. -Derek Rogers Sayville -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
