BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, December 30th
2016 at 7pm. The highlights of today's tape are Christmas Count results
including PINK-FOOTED GOOSE, CACKLING GOOSE, TUNDRA SWAN, Eurasian form of
GREEN-WINGED TEAL, RED CROSSBILL plus ROSS'S GOOSE, BARNACLE GOOSE, GREATER
WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, KING EIDER, HARLEQUIN DUCK, THICK-BILLED MURRE,
DOVEKIE, NORTHERN SHRIKE, LAPLAND LONGSPUR and DICKCISSEL.

The Bronx-Westchester Christmas Count Monday recorded 118 species. New to
the count were the PINK-FOOTED GOOSE as well as the CACKLING GOOSE both
residing recently at Van Cortlandt Park where they, an immature Snow Goose
and 100s of Canadas, can usually be found on the Parade Ground along Route
9 / Broadway. Other highlights were 1,200 SURF SCOTERS with other scoters
off City Island, 5 NORTHERN GANNETS, the adult BLACK-HEADED GULL at Five
Islands Park in New Rochelle, ICELAND GULL, 7 BLACK VULTURES, NORTHERN
GOSHAWK, CLAPPER RAIL, AMERICAN WOODCOCK, 9 MERLIN, a RED-HEADED
WOODPECKER, 12 COMMON RAVENS and 4 RED CROSSBILLS in Rye. The crossbills at
Greenwood Union Cemetery have not been seen since.

The Smithtown Count Tuesday netted 103 species including 2 TUNDRA SWANS on
Lake Ronkonkoma, a Eurasian form of GREEN-WINGED TEAL on Setauket Mill
Pond, one CLAPPER and 2 VIRGINIA RAILS, BALD EAGLE, 18 NORTHERN GANNETS,

the grass circle around the water tower at the entrance to Robert Moses
State Park on Fire Island and another ROSS'S was spotted on Saint John's
Pond off Route 25A in Coldspring last Saturday. A BARNACLE GOOSE spotted

Jones Beach West End Monday.

Out at Montauk Point yesterday in the stormy weather some nice birds
featured a drake KING EIDER as well as 3 DOVEKIES and 2 THICK-BILLED MURRES
joining about 140 RAZORBILLS and a distant BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE. GLAUCOUS
and ICELAND GULLS have been reported during the week at Bush Terminal Piers
