A pair of eagles was recently seen on a nest in Patchogue village atop a communications tower. Osprey had been harassing the eagles since their return and today the osprey pair were tending to the nest. A similar series of events happened last year atop a communications tower in Sayville. I would assume this to be the same pair of eagles.
I spotted a pair of eagles (presumably the village pair) kiting above Robinsons Pond in E Patchogue early this afternoon. At the Bellport docks, a lone common loon was in the bay along with 5 red breasted mergansers (1 male, 4 female). - Luke -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
