A second winter GLAUCOUS GULL was noted at Weequahic Park in Newark, Jan. 7. An
Immature ICELAND GULL and a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL were present at the Sussex
County Landfill Jan. 11 and 13. Birders must sign in and out of the landfill at
the second floor of the Sussex County administration building after entering
from Route 94. Hatfield Swamp in Roseland/West Caldwell was home to 40 RUSTY
BLACKBIRDS Jan. 12.
Sandy Hook Jan. 12 provided a flyover flock of 15 HORNED LARKS along the
Fisherman's Trail at the north end as well as three AMERICAN PIPITS at Horseshoe
Cove and a COMMON EIDER. The "Eurasian" GREEN-WINGED TEAL at Lake Takanassee in
West Long Branch continues as of Jan. 9. It can be found in one of the back
ponds about a block east of Monmouth University.
Barnegat Light SP produced about 20 HARLEQUIN DUCKS, 150 to 200 COMMON EIDERS
including over 30 drakes, 20 PURPLE SANDPIPERS and an immature GLAUCOUS GULL
Jan. 9. An "Ipswich" SAVANNAH SPARROW was also noted there Jan. 13. An adult
GLAUCOUS GULL was discovered at Shark River inlet Jan. 9.
An immature GOSHAWK was reported near the Gull Tower at Forsythe (Brigantine)

Creek Reservoir Jan. 8 and 44 Rusty Blackbirds were observed at Trenton Marsh in
Hamilton Jan. 11.
A female goldeneye featuring an all yellow bill found along the D & R Canal in
New Brunswick Jan. 9 generated quite a discussion including comments from David
Sibley. No consensus was reached but the bird seems to be a possible hybrid
Common/Barrows Goldeneye.
