Observation time 2:00 PM - 6:15 PM Yesterday, over at Big Egg Marsh, I had my high count of Snow Geese this season with 73, of which I noted 7 juveniles.
Over at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, the Barrows Goldeneye (drake) continues to be seen intermittently on the West Pond. In addition, I observed 1 Eurasian Common Teal in a flock of about 19 Green Winged Teal, but no Eurasian/American Green-winged Teal Hybrids. Also of note was the huge number of Scaup on the pond. Well over 2500, which included both Greater and Lesser. Red-breasted Mergansers were also in large numbers as I tallied around 475 on the West Pond.
