On this beautiful day: Canvasback swimming along with a raft of Greater Scaup in the Orchard Beach Lagoon
A raft of perhaps 80 Surf Scoter, very close in to the beach, near the jetty by the nature center. Off Hunter Island: Long-tailed Ducks, Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Greater Scaup, Gadwall, Brant, Horned Grebe, Red-breasted Merganser, American Black Duck, Mallard, Canada Goose, Mute Swan. The Barred Owl remains, as he has since November. If you go, wear boots, it’s “mud-luscious.*” Jack Rothman *apologies to e.e cummings -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
