Massapequa Preserve, Massapequa

I stopped at Massapequa Preserve to check out the previously reported possible hybrid Ross/ Snow Goose. I don't see anything indicating a hybrid - looks like a Snow Goose to me - in any event it was very vocal with the Canada Geese - it was at the Pittsburgh Ave Pond and the stream south of Clark St. Also in the stream, but North of Clark St was a continuing male Wood Duck. Other waterfowl included Pintail, Bufflehead, Ruddy, Black Duck, Coots and Mallards - many walking on the ice giving good photo ops.

At my house (2 blocks from the preserve) Cardinals and Song Sparrows were singing.
