Tuesday AM; Its Snow

The single SNOW GOOSE stayed over, playing "shortstop " at Field 3, at the west end of Prospect Park's Long Meadow. It was vastly overwhelmed by at least 230 CANADA GEESE sharing the field along with larger number of gulls, Ringbills.

Meanwhile, it looks the Redhead was a day wonder ( I wonder where it wander?).No sign of it  per my quick scan , and later Karen Ohearn's. However , within the Peninsula, I spotted a distant 6 hen ( or immature male possibly) HOODED MERGANSERS. So on the fourth day... yes I know not rare and the number is off....

PAINTED BUNTING  continues to defy logic, seen again at the rink....please someone buy it a plane ticket for south climes before it snows up here....
