Following Jim Brighton's lead, I relocated the WWCR flock which he had found on friday at Brantwood Golf Course.  It took me about an hour to find the flock about 300 yards off of Williams Road on fairway number three.  I had two VERY unsatisfactory views of a flock consisting of about 12-20 birds....  I Will be out early AM tomorrow in hopes at gathering better looks and photos of this lifer (for me) and much sought after bird...

Additional notables include AT LEAST 17 READ-BREASTED NUTHATCHES!!! and a single Myrtle Warbler....

Later, I had one Lesser Black-backed Gull amounst the 3-5 thousands gulls gathered on the ice of the North East River...

I continue to have Siskins at my thistle feeder...

-Werd!
