[nysbirds-l] (03-05) Queens Birding - (Eurasian Teal, Barrow's Goldeneye etc.)
Observation time 2:00 PM - 6:15 PM Yesterday, over at Big Egg Marsh, I had my high count of Snow Geese this season with 73, of which I noted 7 juveniles. Over at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, the Barrows Goldeneye (drake) continues to be seen intermittently on the West Pond. In addition, I observed 1 Eurasian Common Teal in a flock of about 19 Green Winged Teal, but no Eurasian/American Green-winged Teal Hybrids. Also of note was the huge number of Scaup on the pond. Well over 2500, which included both Greater and Lesser. Red-breasted Mergansers were also in large numbers as I tallied around 475 on the West Pond.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Barrow's+
This morning I birded Jamaica Bay with a group from Bedford Audubon, led by Tait Johansson. We were able to relocate the drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE far out in the bay, visible from the west end of the West Pond, associating with Commons. Also nice was a flock of 32 SNOW GEESE that flew right overhead. We stopped at Floyd Bennett Field but could not find the previously reported Lapland Longspurs, though there was a flock of Horned Larks present, along with two hunting American Kestrels.

[nysbirds-l] Continuing MA Barnacle Goose
For any New Yorkers near the Massachusetts border, an adult BARNACLE GOOSE that has been around since 2/20 is still present at Mill Pond, a little pond at the junction of routes 23 and 41 in SOUTH EGREMONT, MA. The bird hangs around with that Canada Geese at the far western side of the pond. My deepest apologies for the late post: I ran into some New Yorkers observing the bird today, and it randomly occurred to me that this bird is still legitimate for the NY list. At least the bird is still there! Mill/Smiley's pond is a great local hotspot that often as other noteworthy water birds (from ducks to bitterns to terns and shorebirds and rails) and sometimes Cackling Geese will show up in the flock the Barnacle is in, though none have been noted this year.
