Other highlights at Dreier included 6 Glossy Ibis, Sapsucker, f. Hooded Merganser, at least 3 Am. Kestrels, Red-throated Loon, singing Brown Thrasher, 2 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers 2 Palm Warblers, and an early Chimney Swift seen only by Richard. At Floyd, 3 Blue-winged Teal were on the Return-a-Gift Pond, f. Purple Finch near the Community Gardens, 2 Brown Creepers near Ecology Village,and Ring-necked Pheasant was heard at 2 locations. - Tom

March 14th,2009 Spring Creek Region
Leader : Steve Nanz
A total of 14 people went on the trip today. We started out at the inlet by Fountain Ave.
Lee (Shelley) was concerned about having too many people at the Pennsylvania Ave Landfill
so we broke into two groups. This worked out fine.
Jerry (Layton) led the group at the landfill and I led the other group and went to Spring Creek
and Big Egg Marsh. We reunited at Fort Tilden for lunch. We went the the fisherman's
parking lot afterward to check out seabirds. Star Saphire was there by herself and
she joined our group. We finished the day by going to Floyd Bennett.
We had a really nice time. Highlights included: Wilson's Snipe and American Pipet at the landfill,
(22) Ruddy Turnstones at Waterfront Tribute Park at Beach 116th St in the Rockaways,
and all three scoters and a Lesser Black-backed Gull at Fort Tilden.
Those who went with Jerry's group were very pleased. The people at the landfill were extremely nice and accommodating.
I made two lists because I know that Lee was interested in what we saw.
