Hi Folks,

Interstingly, I too did a hike around Greenbury Point yesterday afternoon, 
and was disappointed not to find Bobwhite or Willow Flyctcher, that seemed 
so plentiful this time last year.   From there I went to Sandy Point State 
Park, and was surprised to find a male LONG-TAILED DUCK sitting on the 
beach; it was a fairly ratty looking bird.  Wonder if this is the same 
Long-tail that Dan saw, presumably earlier in the day.
