[nysbirds-l] Dune Road & Eastport Pond Birds (Suffolk Co.)

2017-01-04 Thread Ken Feustel 
Sue and I spent the morning birding Dune Road in misty and overcast conditions. 
We combined our Dune Road trip with a late morning stop at Eastport Pond. There 
was not much on the ocean beside flyby Common Eider and scoters. The bays were 
virtually devoid of ducks. At Shinnecock the jetty’s were frequently underwater 
form the churned-up ocean, but we still managed to pick up Harlequin Duck (3) 
Iceland Gull (1) and Snowy Owl(1).  A few Great Egrets were lingering at 
various locations along Dune Road. Cupsogue was not very birdy, although a high 
tide did not help.

At Eastport Pond there was a good collection of waterfowl, including Eurasian 
Wigeon, Canvasback, and Redhead. While on Dune Road we got a call from Pat 
Lindsay that a Ross’s Goose was at Lake Capri in West Islip. We stopped on the 
way home at 12:45PM and quickly saw the bird with some Canada Geese. Thanks Pat!

Good Birding,

Ken & Sue Feustel

There is 1 sandhill crane associated with a large flock of Canada geese
(and 1 snow goose) at Wainscott Pond (East Hampton). The field is private
but the bird can be seen from the road. I had 4 purple sandpipers FOS on
the ocean jetty south of Hook Pond (East Hampton).

[nysbirds-l] Montauk Point - King Eider

2017-01-04 Thread Sean Camillieri 
There is a hen King Eider that can be viewed from below the lighthouse.
It's not associating with any other ducks. Aside from 1 Razorbill, nothing
else unusual to report.
