EUWI at Army Terminal pier 4
Eurasian Wigeon (Mareca penelope) (1)
- Reported Dec 03, 2024 09:25 by Tom Preston
- Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4, Kings, New York
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.646519,-74.026074&ll=40.646519,-74.026074
- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S204390251
- Comments: "Warm brown tones on a steep forehead were immediately apparent on this bird. Flanks rusty too. An Adjacent female American wigeon provided comparison; it had a much grayer head than the American. In the NE corner as usual- this is a known location for this species though it's been a while. Didn't get a photo. The unobstructed view was too distant and the water too choppy. I was able to walk closer but the fence causes issues. It occurred to me that I may be able to get a shot around the side of the fence but the bird flew off in the direction of Bush terminal, accompanied by a male and female American wigeon"

It's a breeze in prospect
Mondays good birds hung around breeze hill. Within a very short short ,If lucky, you could find pine warbler,purple finches, orange crowned warbler and Wilson's Warbler. That's quite a catch.
At the feeders, three purple finches- two males and a female - stayed put while a new warbler joined in among 4 usual of late: pine warbler. This bodes well for the upcoming Xmas count on Dec 14th.
From the feeders, take the road across the drive for the rink and you'll likely find orange crowned warbler along with it's companion Wilson's Warbler by the hairpin path turn ( this was last year's rufous hummingbird spot).
Yesterday a second orange crowned was spotted at the peninsula base at the edge of the lawn presumably close to the lake,perched up in the tree there. Saturday the common yellowthroat was next to the left shipping container on well drive.
Near there this morning by the picnic tables a birder reported a perched bald eagle atop a lookout Hill tree.
Rusty blackbirds this afternoon was seen flying over binnen bridge. It's likely they landed in Lily pool there.
