Hi everyone,
 

This is my first post - I live in Massapequa and normally bird at the preserve and Jones Beach West end.  I post pics on my blog http://longislandbirding.blogs....  I was at Massapequa Preserve from 9:30am-10:30am today - beautiful fall day  - highlights were a flock of 20+ cedar waxwings by the Pittsburgh Avenue entrance feeding on berries.  On the nearby lake/ pond, saw 2 Eurasian Wigeon, American Wigeon, Green Winged Teal, and Gadwall.  Also saw small flocks of robins, a kinglet, cardinal, song sparrows singing and heard goldfinches overhead.  I'll post my pics during the weekend.  I couldn't get a close shot of the Eurasian Wigeons since they were on the far side of the pond.  I'm confident they'll stick around if you want to try looking for them. For the past few years, there has been 3 Eurasian Wigeons + one hybrid during the winter - hopefully they'll all be back soon.

Good birding,
Rob Taylor
