It was a drab day with impending rain so I made the best of it and went to Jones West End with Mike Z hoping to see the Red Crossbills again - nope, it was dead as can be there - not even siskins, just some goldfinches (and some kinglets). I headed to Robert Moses where I didn't see anything either. I decided to try to the north shore just for a change of pace. I drove up to Sunken Meadow and stopped at Edgewood where I saw some Bluebirds and a Sharpie. (I was hoping for siskins etc with all the pines) Sunken Meadow had some sparrows by the dump area- best bird I found was a Field Sparrow. I went to Tung Ting pond in Centerport to look for a Eurasian Wigeon and GWF Goose reported on ebird. I saw the wigeon and a nice male Canvasback (I was more impressed with the Canvasback) but no luck with the goose - I assumed it flew off with Canada Geese. (it was ebirded the next day at Northport High School) I saw a report of the continuing Rufous Hummingbird at Bayard which I thought was closed from their website, so went down to see it.
