Peter,
I've attached a PDF file of the list. The 2 "goose sp." were the local snants hanging out with pigeons on the parking lot of Canarsie Pier.
The raging west winds made much of the birding a challenge. Land birds were scarce, but we had a few highlights before abandoning the Canarsie area for a run to Sheepshead Bay for the Harlequin Duck. That included an adult Red-shouldered Hawk and two Common Mergansers. Everyone was really excited to see the very cooperative young male Harlequin, which was a lifer for many in the BBC group. It was a county bird for me.
I was planning to send Mike a short write up to put on FB later. Also, after Susan Axelrod dropped off myself, Grace Markman and Reece Hunt on 5th Street, I walked the ladies up to the Nethermead Arches to see their first Varied Thrush.
Best,
Rob
