Joe Giunta, Ed Becher, Joe Viglietta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at Dick's parking lot at 10:00 AM shortly before the rain and stayed till 12:30, raining throughout. During the time, a large buteo flew low and skimmed over the top of the mound. Going away, it showed its nice red tail. Later a large buteo landed on the top of the mound, sat motionless and was still there when we left. This one displayed a lovely belly band. Both resulted in a bit of excitement, but unfortunately, no cigar.
The sanitation workers were quite accommodating including a security guard who requested we move back about 6 feet to the bicycle path and thus off the property itself. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
