[nysbirds-l] Tappen Beach, Sea Cliff
Tappen Beach today had at least 2 GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS, one of which allowed me to photograph him while he scarfed down a giant fish. Two OSPREYS were present, sitting on their nest on a cell tower. The RED-NECKED GREBE that has been hanging around was still there, this time diving just behind Duffy's Bait and Tackle. Also behind the bait and tackle shop was my FOS (and lifer!) SNOWY EGRET, in full breeding plumage. There was a GREAT EGRET at Scudder's Pond and several BUFFLEHEAD in the middle of the inlet.
