[nysbirds-l] Bald Eagle, Hempstead Harbor & Sands Point (Nassau county)

This morning, on my way in to the Sands Point Preserve, I stopped at Bar Beach (Port Washington, Nassau County). All of Hempstead Harbor was completely frozen. A Bald Eagle was sitting on the ice in the middle of the harbor, devouring what appeared to be a duck or gull. Right about here:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Re] Greater White-fronted Goose - Alley Pond Park, Queens, No

For what it’s worth, I checked out the Douglaston Park Golf Course since it was the closest grassy area on the map and I found tons of geese foraging there. I failed to relocate the White-front despite some intensive searching, though it’s probably still a good spot to check when the birds

The geese have departed from the pond for the time being, but there is a first cycle Iceland Gull floating in the open water. Not currently associating with the large flock of gulls roosting on the ice. Cheers! -Tim H > On Jan 7, 2018, at 9:06 AM, Jaklitsch, Mike wrote: >

[nysbirds-l] purple sandpiper. Accabonac Harbor, East Hampton

I figured it was cold and miserable enough that I would be rewarded for putting in some birding time. There was 1 purple sandpiper on the Gardiner's Bay side of Gerard Drive, along with a dozen dunlin, 1 black-bellied plover, and several sanderling. The bay has lots of long-tailed ducks, and there

A very confiding snipe is feeding along the surprisingly unfrozen stream through the preserve, a short walk south of the Fillmore Street entrance. Cheers! -Tim H -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm

[nysbirds-l] King Eider, Jones Beach, Nassau

The first year male King Eider continues with the flock of sea ducks at the West End jetty. No sign of the older male, but there was still lots of movement and if it’s still in the area it may reappear later. I would’ve sent this message out half an hour ago but my phone froze and shut down.
