Hi all, just curious, has anyone seen Juncos yet? Or White-throated
sparrows?

 

I saw my first-of-season Juncos and White-Throated Sparrows this past
Sunday, in Falls Village, CT (in the northwest corner of the state). It was
a small, active flock of maybe 6-8 birds and one of the sparrows sang for a
bit.

 

I know it's not NY but since I've seen them further north, i'm wondering how
long it's going to be before we see them in the NYC/LI area.

 

Those birds mean winter's almost here chop the firewood!

 

happy birding everyone

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End

2011-10-25 Thread Sy Schiff 
Jones Beach West End; 25 October

Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, and I (Sy Schiff) started at the bar in front of the 
marina. Among the 800-1,000 shorebirds, were an AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER, 2 
MARBLED  GODWIT, a WILLET and a ROYAL TERN hidden among the resting gulls. 
FORSTER'S TERNS continue fishing in the inlet.

The N wind started mild, picking up and moving to the NW as the morning 
progressed. With the winds came a modest hawk flight; 2 dozen SHARP-SHINNED 
HAWKS, a dozen MERLIN, OSPREY, COOPER'S HAWK and a KESTREL.  Land birds 
included .8 species of sparrows with WHITE-CROWN and CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, 
INDIGO BUNTING, PHOEBE, both KINGLETS and HERMIT THRUSH.

Joe and I stopped off at the Pt. Lookout "rock pile" on the way home.  There, 
we added EASTERN WOOD PEWEE and ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK. There was a modest 
SHARP-SHINNED HAWK and MERLIN flight there also.

[nysbirds-l] Black vulture over manhattan

2011-10-25 Thread Andrew Farnsworth 
Hi all,
For those currently on manhattan island, there is presently (~1pm) a black 
vulture soaring with 2 peregrines, four turkey vultures, and a northern harrier 
over midtown in the lower 50s. From my vantage on the east side, the birds look 
to be over the central portion of the island, drifting toward the Hudson. Nice 
raptor flight ongoing today here, more to post later.

Good birding
Andrew
