I got out of the office again today. Amazing!

The Eurasian Green-winged Teal was still easily found at the County Line Ponds, but when the geese are not there. I also found one at the McCain Ponds (private, south of Para Ponds) with an intergrade Eurasian X American Green-winged Teal nearby, and 18 Dunlin.

This evening there were 7 or 8 Snow Geese, one Ross's Goose, 2+ Greater White-fronted Geese, plus loads of Cackling and Canada Geese, Sandhill Cranes, Mallards, and Northern Pintails at the Corfu corn field. This morning a Prairie Falcon stopped by there. I also relocated the "Blue Goose" but am changing ID on it. It appears to be a snow X white-front hybrid as it has orange legs, and juv. white-front body, white neck and mostly pinkish bill but without the big grin.
