All, Today i visited Jamaica Bay with Rhys Marsh. Despite the chilly wind, we found the Eared Grebe from the end of 10th St in Broad Channel (south of park visitor's center). It was diving frequently and easy to miss in the waves.
We had no luck looking for a Barrow's from the West Pond trail. The only Goldeneyes we found were two female Commons in the bay. The Eurasian Wigeon was at the southern end of the East Pond. Here's a digi-scoped picture of the drake: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pasurfbird/6696942377/ It was in the company of two Canvasbacks and a few American Wigeon best viewed from the trail that follows the southern perimeter of the East Pond.
