[nysbirds-l] new yard bird in Yonkers
Just had a Black Vulture circling over my neighbors home for a new yard bird. Number 71 in six years, not to bad. Surprisingly I haven't had a Turkey yet. Soon I'm sure. Andrew Andrew v. F.

[nysbirds-l] Summer Tanager in Wappinger Falls
I just saw on the Orange Co. list that there's a Summer Tanager in Wappingers Falls that's evidently been around for awhile at a private feeder. Nice photos on the eBird report.

I went to look for the Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the private residence in Mamaroneck after looking for the chat at Marshlands which I missed.

[nysbirds-l] King Eider, Gr. White-fronted Goose, no Emperor Goose or Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Went out today looking for these species and had some good luck. The female King Eider at Sterling Forest S.P. in Tuxedo is still there showing nicely at the south end of the lake, but better to bring scope if it's not in close. It's viewed from the road to the slightly to the left after turning onto the entrance road to the headquarters from Long Meadow Rd. People are not allowed to drive down this private road as it is marked, but you can park at the beginning on the left where the pull out is. Then walk along the road til you get to the first opening by the lake on the right and you're there. It was seen about half way out in the water. I also went to look for the Greater White-fronted Goose in Rye Brook and found it at the usual spot south of Bowman Ave. The Emperor Goose I seem to keep missing. I checked The Tarrytown Reservoirs, White PLains H.S., and the golf course east of Hathaway Lane in White Plains with no success. I'm starting to think it's a ghost. I did have two juvenile eagles, many Common Mergansers, and Buffleheads among others on the lakes at the different spots besides all the geese. Lastly I was alerted to a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak at a private residence in Mamaroneck that was around for 4 days until 2 days ago. Evidentily it's hasn't shown for the last two days. Oh well.

Went to look for the previously reported Stilt Sandpiper at PBP in the rain this afternoon. Didn't see it but did have several Greater Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Plovers, and Least Sandpipers in the Turtle Cove. Also had a large raccoon in the flats feeding. Andrew Andrew v. F.

[nysbirds-l] Black Vulture low over Edgemont H.S.
While passing by Edgemont H.S. I noticed a Black Vulture low over the school. I have seen a pair of them fairly regularly in the vicinity over the last few years so they must be breeding somewhere nearby. I would love to find the nest. Very cool. Andrew Andrew v. F.
