I tried last evening as well but by the time I got free of the rush hour traffic (5:50 PM) I only had enough light to check the Holtsville location, where I found a guy with a dog and a radio-controlled monster car on the field and, naturally, no geese. I would appreciate any updates, negative or positive, as I'd like to try again when I get the opportunity.

I have received a second hand unsubstantiated report of a painted bunting in Suffolk County. Near the intersection of rte 104 and Scrub oak rd near Quogue.

We told her that the Dovekie was pretty active the entire morning (swimming and diving constantly) and that it was just taking a break. She insisted that the bird was not OK, mentioned a net in her car and that she was going to "rescue" it (whatever than means). Some birders tried to discourage her and I left about 2PM (Saturday) after being there for 2 hours (more or less). Apparently, this morning the bird was not there and someone said that the water at the marine was partially frozen. Maybe the bird left or it was taken bey this "rescuer." I would love know if the bird was "removed" from the marine by someone who may have good intentions or it just left the place because it was time to continue its journey.
