In fairness, I don’t think that body of water has a name. I seem to recall that it’s more like a sump (rather unnaturally rectangular) with the baseball field to the south of it. Good luck if you go. Sue Herbst > On Dec 17, 2018, at 9:59 PM, Gus Keri wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > Apparently, t

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose in Nassau County

2018-12-17 Thread Gus Keri

The BARROW'S GOLDENEYE found by Tom Burke and Gail Benson, and seen by others in the Point South party was in fact a FEMALE, not adult male as I incorrectly stated in the count highlights. Obviously this is a pivotal detail and would make a big difference to anyone searching for the bird! With luc
