Friday was my best day and the only day that I got any photos; I started at Greenwood Lake, where I had a Common Loon and an American Coot as my best birds. Then I went to the black dirt, where everything was frozen and covered with ice crystals, which made for some decent photo ops. On Saturday I birded the Reservoir 3 area near Port Jervis but had only the usuals. On Sunday I hiked at Black Rock Forest in the rain, and it was more of the usuals. Afterwards, I stopped at the Newburgh Waterfront, where Bruce Nott and I had 2 Iceland Gulls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
