[EBB Sightings] Albany Waterfront: Brant, Cackling Goose

Today at the Albany Waterfront (11-1pm) there were a Brant and a Cackling 
Goose amongst the Canada Geese in the area where the creek feeds into the 
mudflats.  A Green-winged Teal and a probable Eurasian Wigeon were also 
seen.  Out at the spit in the western extremity of the park were several 
Black Turnstones with the usual Black Oystercatchers.  A couple Spotted 
Sandpipers were out there as well. A first year Red-shouldered Hawk was 
perched nicely atop the castle for awhile.
