[nysbirds-l] No sighting/ Images from 4/11 Brooklyn Pelagic
I have put up a small selection of images from the Paulagics trip out of Brooklyn this past weekend. For those of us who only see beady-eyed, dirty looking Lesser Black-backed gulls from land all winter these adult birds in breeding plumage were quite a welcome change! https://www.flickr.com/photos/103866258@N08/sets/72157649616473454/with/16954021130/ Cheers, Sean Sime Brooklyn, NY -- 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/ --
[nysbirds-l] Eagle and some Warblers - Snowy Owl report
According to a post on facebook the Snowy Owl is still present along Dune Road. The Bald Eagle nest I've been frequenting was business as usual sub-adult on the nest, adult about 1/4 mile out on the marsh. After a while the bird took off and circled high above the bay. An Osprey also passed by with a flounder. Robert Cushman Park (near the BNL boundary, Manorville) had a lot of very active Pine Warblers.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
I have uploaded two pictures of the Crested Caracara to my Flickr page. You can see the differences between the right and the left (damaged) eye.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
He eye socket is indeed empty. Herb Houghton from NJ showed my a picture today where the empty socket was evident. Herb also states that he took a photo of the bird head on that shows the convex shape of the birds right eye and a concave area where the left eye should be. He has a photo web site and can be reached through it. Googling his name will get you there.

[nysbirds-l] Fish Crow - The predator
So-called scavengers only occasionally get the press they deserve as predators. I watched a Fish Crow raiding Rock Pigeon nests, under an overpass along Saw Mill River Road in Yonkers late this morning. The crow would move from nest site to nest site, with adult pigeons flushing in its wake. Even common species have plenty to teach us birders...

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye
Felipe, if you have a link for these photos outside of Facebook, perhaps you
may considering sharing.
There are many list serve subscribers who are not on Facebook and probably
don't know the reference to NY Birders.

[nysbirds-l] Montgomery [Orange Co.] Crested Caracara
Hi all, Yesterday, while viewing and photographing the Crested Caracara in Montgomery, NY, I met a young man that had driven down from Ithaca to see the bird (I took him to be a Cornell ornithology student). After examining the bird through his scope, he mentioned that he thought the bird's left eye was either missing or damaged. My photographs aren't clear enough to say definitively, but do suggest that something is different about the left eye. Anyone else notice this?

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Nightjar
This was not posted to the NYS so I figured this would be the opportune moment
to cross post, for those subscribers who might be interested.
Harry Taylor, just reported that the Chuck-will's-widow continues at Bryant
Park in the NE corner--same area as yesterday. Look for the London Plane tree
with the patch of Daffodils near the trunk in that corner.
The bird was first reported this morning by BTW--Bobby & Colleen

This was not posted to the NYS so I figured this would be the opportune moment to cross post, for those subscribers who might be interested. Harry Taylor, just reported that the Chuck-will's-widow continues at Bryant Park in the NE corner--same area as yesterday. Look for the London Plane tree with the patch of Daffodils near the trunk in that corner.

[nysbirds-l] Montgomery [Orange Co.] Crested Caracara
Hi all, Yesterday, while viewing and photographing the Crested Caracara in Montgomery, NY, I met a young man that had driven down from Ithaca to see the bird (I took him to be a Cornell ornithology student). After examining the bird through his scope, he mentioned that he thought the bird's left eye was either missing or damaged. My photographs aren't clear enough to say definitively, but do suggest that something is different about the left eye. Anyone else notice this?

An Osprey also passed by with a flounder. Robert Cushman Park (near the BNL boundary, Manorville) had a lot of very active Pine Warblers.
