After church today, my wife RuthAnn agreed to accompany me down to Eastport, Suffolk Co., for a "quick" try at the Barnacle Goose. Upon arrival, I found Diana Teta, and 2 of her friends (unknown to me), looking at the BRNG, just as it swam into the 2nd cove on the w/s of Eastport Pond, and out of sight. I waited for about 45 minutes without success, before suggesting to RA about getting something to eat & drink locally, and then returning for an even quicker "quick" try. She agreed (she had a book along ) and we proceeded to have a hearty & tasty lunch at the diner in C.Morichies, located on the s/s of Main St., in the middle of town. Returning to Eastport, we found Pat Lindsay & Shai Mitra on the scene, making for the 2nd time in 10 days, that I have had the good fortune of, literally, finding birders with their feet on the ground and the bird in their eye-peices!
