[nysbirds-l] Couch's Kingbird in AM Today
For the record, the COUCH'S KINGBIRD was not seen until it appeared at the corner of Jane St and Washington St at 9:52 this morning. It flew in from the southeast and then remained along Washington Street until 10:33. It left in the same direction from which it flew in. Before we located the bird, many of us who were there exchanged cell phone numbers, and then went out on patrols of the neighborhood. Most birders remained along the east side of Washington. The bird was found by me when I wandered away from the group. At that point, there were several parties scouting the neighborhood. I personally texted 6 people when the bird appeared, all of whom got to see it. I guess the point is that it worked well to have everybody networked while waiting for the bird, so don't be afraid to organize the group. There were at least 2 COMMON RAVENS flying about the neighborhood as well and they were seen at least three times between about 9 and 10:30 from about 4 blocks south of the Jane to perhaps 6 blocks north, each time flying towards the river. Aside from seeing the bird, it was great to see many NY birders I hadn't seen since I moved to Washington including Pete Dorosh, Rich Guthrie, Dave LaMagna and Mickey Cashman. I also met many young birders, all of whom have agreed to participate in the Montauk and Sagaponack Christmas Bird Counts next year.[?] Hugh -- Hugh McGuinness Washington, D.C. -- 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/ --
