The King Eiders at Shinnecock continues with 3 females and 2 immature males observed this morning. 4 of the 5 were observed on the Oceanside with the other, an immature male in the inlet providing excellent views.
In the same area a drake Redhead was observed in a mixed raft of Greater and Lesser Scaup (mostly Greater). Most of these birds were viewed with other birders and photographers that included Ann Lazarus, Ken Gale, Edith, Lloyd Spitalnik, Harry Mass and others. Earlier at the Ponquogue Bridge, I had nice looks at 2 drake Canvasback Ducks thanks to Suzi Stewart and Sally Newbert. In the same area I found a Red-necked Grebe and was able to return the kindness shown by Suzi and Sally. In addition to some of the "usual suspects" expected on Dune Road. Near "Lane K", I had a flyover Rough-legged Hawk. I did not have enough time to check for all the other good birds reported in the area but hopefully they are still around. "Traffic Study, You Say"?
