A morning seawatch at the boardwalk at 35th Street in Coney Island was fairly
interesting, although there wasn't a ton of diversity.

I was with Michael this morning and also saw the Tufted Duck. I thought it

were no Scaup at all in the harbor.
Good Birding and Happy Holidays

Being seen at the south end of Hard's Lake in Southaven County Park. It very
closely resembles the same individual that I noted at this location on
11/28/12. There are many hundred Canada Geese to work through.
