I was at Orient Point Park today on the Park access road from 2;30 to 3;30. I usually see black and surf, but did not see scoters at all. much less a flock of white winged with the the Harliequin. Just DC Cormorants, and buffleheads. ( N0 eiders yet) Got good looks and pictures of at a . flock (30?) of cedar waxwings which stayed on trees and drank from the road rain puddles together with robins, on the dirt road going to the actual point (until a car came by after half hour.and chased them.). I will bet they will be back tomorrow. I also saw a few black scoters at the point Andy Murphy

The harlie was seen just past the mile marker for 1 mile, in a small raft of White-winged Scoter. This is a bird that was initially found on the 31st and last reported on the 4th.
