Not to clutter up people's inboxes, but the Pink-footed Goose is in Riverhead on the sod fields not far from where it has been seen in the previous weeks. Again beside viewed from Sound Ave (coordinates: 40.966597, -72.652892).
Anyway the day started with brutal winds and cold at Shinnecock inlet which produced an immature male King Eider early which could not be refound when we went to check again after warming up. Surf conditions made it difficult. No iceland or glaucous gulls were seen but that is not to say there are not still there. And only a quick look failed to turn up the red-necked grebe. There was however and extremely cooperative Clapper Rail at the Quogue Nature Trail on Dune Road right in the first ditch down the trail which also contained Seaside Sparrow. Also viewed from there, besides a Northern Harrier, in the distance was an immature Bald Eagle moving east over the bay. -- 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/ --
