Hi Peter,

For the wild card trip, I and seven participants decided to look for the rare waterfowl which have been reported on Long Island. We tallied 49 species of which 16 species were waterfowl. Highlights included Pink-footed Goose at Hendrickson Park in Valley Stream, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Ring-necked Duck, Common Merganser, Black-crowned Night-Heron, and Kingfisher at Belmont Lake State Park in West Babylon, and a Peregrine Falcon at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale. Thanks to Kathy Toomey for keeping the list.
