Hi All, John McNeil and I tried around 9:30 this morning for the Pink Footed Goose at the ballfields with no luck.We then took a walk at Wertheim Refuge in Shirley and had 4 Killdeer out on the marsh.We later took a drive to Hampton Bays to look for the Ravens at the Water Tower by the railroad station.As we drove by the tower 2 Turkey Vultures sailed past.We then took the access road on the south side of the tracks and entered the facility.Out on the lawn were 2 Ravens hopping about.A lady in the office mentioned that nest building had begun,[second season].There was not much activity at the Inlet but as we neared Triton Lane further west we had superb looks at the Iceland Gull standing in a roadside ditch. Good Balmy February Birding, Carl Starace
