I just had some siskins over my house in Yonkers for a new yard bird. Also, I was just informed of a Mandarin Duck in a pond on the Winged Foot C.C. in Mamaroneck. Unfortunately it's not viewable except by members. I was told it escaped from a guy who lives adjacent to the club and who has many exotic ducks on his property. He also evidently releases a lot of pheasants in the area too. I bet this is where these Mandarins are coming from in the area. Andrew Andrew v. F.
