So apparently I did see the Northern Pintail.  I noticed it among the mallards but did not know what it was because its not a mature male N. Pintail.  I singled it out and took a photo and had it ID'd.  So the Pintail was there today. Woo-hoo See pic: http://flic.kr/p/jRP4V6 On Saturday,

I visited Connetquot River State Park this morning, hoping the previously reported RED-NECKED GREBE had stuck around--luckily it had. I spotted it rather quickly, ~100' out on the river north of the mill. After I had observed it for a while, as it swam actively and dove a couple of times, I
