The BLACK BRANT *(Pacific Black Brant)* found by Patricia Lindsay on Sunday at Heckscher State Park LI, continued today at the Timber Point Golf Course. I spotted the bird after patiently working over an estimated flock of about 600 Atlantic Brant, in cold and windy conditions, which at times proved a bit difficult as I almost had my scope blown over a few times.
