Thanks to an email from Mel Cowgill informing me of the above, I headed there in the hope of getting an adequate photo of this species. The good news was they were still there (21 strong}, with the bad news being they were too far away for my camera to get a decent shot.
I then tried Patchogue Lake, Patchogue in the hope of photographing the Red-necked Grebe, that has been there, at least up to 3/11, when I saw it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it today, but as a consolation prize, found ~ 15 Canvasbacks, a scarce species this winter.
