An hour ago, I saw a male Eurasian Wigeon in the narrow cove at the southeast corner of Setauket Harbor. This is along Shore Road, which runs north from Route 25A in Setauket.
This is almost surely the same bird that has been sporadically frequenting the Setauket mill pond,which is now partly frozen over and has a much reduced number of waterfowl. The cove has been a favored site for a male Eurasian Wigeon for several years, possibly a single returning bird.
