Did some birding on Saturday along New York's Upper Delaware River Valley and
surrounding areas from Barryville to Calicoon in Sullivan County. I struck out
on Northern Shrike, but managed a nice raptor show and some redpolls. No real
waterfowl to speak of despite the abundant open water.
After putting in ~3 hours finishing up my area for the NYSOA January Waterfowl
Count at Heckscher State Park I was heading back to my car when I again
encountered
the large (35-40) American Tree Sparrow flock on the west side of the pool
complex. This is the same location the flock had been in

This morning I took a drive down Dune Road. On my way toward Hampton Bays
I spotted an Adult Cooper's Hawk on a powerline. Two hooded mergansers
were near the Quogue/East Quogue border on a small pool on the north side
of the road. Other highlights include: American Bittern (near triton
lane),
The previously reported GLAUCOUS GULL continued when I arrived at 1:30 PM. I
parked in the dirt lot that is located on the south side of the bridge. When I
arrived, the Glaucous Gull was in the creek along the north side by itself.
After only about 2-3 minutes of viewing, an adult Great
Glaucous gull at base of jessup lane bridge west side along with golden eye.

My last post went incomplete. The Tufted Duck is still there, along with the
Eurasian Widgeon and some Redhead Ducks. One tough thing to watch was a Great-
black backed full killing and eating a Dovekie.

Hi all; Great day birding yesterday at out at Montauk. We had great weather,
mid 50's quite windy but great anyway. Myself and 7 other birders had 58
species of birds and 1 harbor seal, although I won't list all of them here,
some of the most notable ones were: Dovekies ( lifer for me )
There is currently a Red-necked Grebe underneath the bridge that leads to Smith
Point. The bird can be well hidden at times but occasionally drifts toward the
east providing excellent, site accessible views.
