Bronx Brendan and I checked out Jamaica Bay yesterday morning before noon. We walked over to the breach, then across the street to Big John’s Pond and peeked in at East Pond. It was nice to see lots of Glossy Ibis.
House Wren Cedar waxwing Mute Swan Ruddy Duck (we counted 22 on east Pond near “The Raunt.”) Scaup (we didn’t have a scope, but through our binos it looked like a single scaup swimming along with the Ruddys, odd.) Brown Thrasher American Redstart American Crow Laughing Gull Great-black backed Gull Ring-billed Gull Herring Gull Double-crested Cormorant Willow Flycatcher (3) Black-capped Night Heron (several) Snowy Egret (several on West Pond) Little Blue Heron Great Egret Gray Catbird Red-winged Blackbird Common Yellowthroat Tree Swallow Osprey Yellow Warbler Common Tern Jack Rothman cityislandbirds.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
