The EARED GREBE continues at Piscataway Park off the board walk. Also an
extremely late OSPREY made an appearance.  Great December bird!   I then
headed out to Greenbury Point to try and find the Pelicans that have been
periodically seen this last week.  Try as I might I could not pull one out.
I also did not see any Gannets, the first time in weeks that I have struck
out on Gannets.  Waterfowl numbers were low as well, but there was a large
gull feeding flock consisting mostly of ring-billeds, a few herrings and a
Forster's Tern or two.  Complete lists:
