Highlights from the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge today include the following:
The *American White Pelican* continued on the North End; observed fishing and preening. *1 Long-billed Dowitcher* in basic plumage hanging out with a number of Greater Yellowlegs. *15 Snow Geese* seen near the Raunt before they flew off into the bay and *158 Snowy Egrets*, my highest count at Jamaica Bay. I could not find a single *Black-crowned Night-Heron* today, a stark contrast to the 93 I counted on the East Pond last Saturday. Good Birding!
