Observation details
Adult female. Uncommon at best anytime in Brooklyn, and I think somewhat less regular at Green-wood than at Prospect Park, where a few individuals are usually noted each season. Awesome discovery at Crescent Water this morning by Michele Talich. I was at Dell Water at the time, and she described the bird flying east away from both ponds. However, some 30-45 minutes later the bird returned, this time to Dell, where it gave excellent looks while remaining always within several feet of the water, and often much closer to it than that. I don't believe I have ever seen this species away from water.
