Huge Number of Waterfowl Being Spotted (Long Island Sound, NY)

An unusually large number of waterfowl visited Port Jefferson vicinity this January Thaw. This was just after I learned about the winter waterfowl count being organized by New York State's Ornithological Society (NYSOA) from Jim Ash, South Fork Natural History (SOFO) Executive Director.
