10,000 Birds

DECEMBER 31, 2018

It is a series of shots of Greater Scaup flying out of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge’s West Pond, of which the image that includes Red-breasted Mergansers is the most interesting. Two species, neither of which is rare or difficult to see and we have a total of two posts about either species! One post is one I wrote seven years ago.

I started out my birding life sitting on Benches 2 and 7 at the Jamaica Bay NWR West Pond, my Peterson’s in my lap, studying Green-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, and the occasional Pintail. It may even make duck identification as easy as it once was at Jamaica Bay, Bench 2. Plate 37, Eurasian, Green-winged, and Baikal Teal.
