Massapequa Preserve

I was looking for the Scaup that usually winter at Massapequa Lake - just found one, but was close to shore so I got a good shot.  Greater and Lesser Scaup are hard to tell apart from a distance - I'm confident this is a Lesser judging from the shape of the head and body plumage.  I was surprised to find a Catbird so late, but was very vocal feeding on the berries by the pond near Pittsburgh Avenue.
