Jamaica Bay WR. 8 Nov. Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) were unable to find the Wigeon group on the East Pond. Access to the edge was not generally available and the ducks apparently moved in close to the phragmites. So, we missed the Eurasian Wigeon as did others we ran into.. (Can't see around corners).
On the West Pond at bench 7, we looked into the channel and found the EARED GREBE in with about a dozen HORNED GREBES. The grebes moved farther away from shore, and when we came by latter,could not pick out the Eared Grebe as the flock was too far out. The AMERICAN BITTERN was reported earlier in the morning, but not seen by us.
