Re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park NYC, Fri. March 31, 2023: Ring-necked Duck, Field & Savannah Sparrows, Rusty Blackbird

2023-04-01 Thread SHARON BERLAN 
Just fyi rob and I saw a imm bald eagle fly over us while driving south on the 
west side hway around 160th st. Not sure what that road is called right there. 
The bird was huge and very close. 

And if it’s possible to explain, which is the jug handle?

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon- Orange County, NY

 I was there today with Randy Schutz and no one had seen. This was between 930 
and 11am or so. What coloring does it have?

I was able to view a perched Gyrfalcon from the platform at the Wallkill 
National Wildlife Preserve tonight, at sunset. It was distant, but was flushed 
by several Northern Harriers and then the Gyrfalcon flew towards me.  I have 
pictures for documentary purposes.  I recommend scopes/binoculars for viewing.  
An exciting bird for Orange County!

[nysbirds-l] Rockefeller State Park Preserve Friday 3/30

2012-03-30 Thread Sharon Berlan 
This am I birded with Randy Schutz, Peter Haskell and Neville Wright. It was a 
lovely morning with some interesting highlights.. There included a close up 
female pileated, a hairy, FOS blue grey gnatcatcher, black vulture in addition 
to turkey, Tree and rough winged swallows, field sparrow. More common but of 
interest were eastern bluebirds, brown headed cowbirds, eastern phoebes, 
Carolina wren, brown thrasher (heard) among the usual others. 

No kinglets or warblers although we saw both kinglets, pine and palm warblers 
near Garret Mtn on Tuesday.
