[nysbirds-l] Evening grosbeak
At the Hook Mountain hawkwatch in nyack, in addition to a big late season hawk migration, I had an evening grosbeak come in and land 20 feet in front of me. Many photographs. Over 100 red shouldered hawks were counted today, in a big year for red shouldered migration at most of the lower Hudson valley watches.

re:[nysbirds-l] banded kite
having been to sterling forest to photograph the kites on at least 8 different days so far (my office is only 15 min. away from the site), my guess is that someone mistakenly saw the white leg feathers and orange leg skin color and thought there were white/orange bands. these 2 birds are the same birds each time i have been there. the female has some fairly distinctive white patches on her back. their behavior in terms of where they perch and bring nesting material is consistent each day. and having established this area as their territory, i am sure they would not tolerate any other raptors around. twice i have seen them chase out bald eagles that have drifted into the area. if someone has photos of a banded female, then i stand corrected steve sachs -- 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] hook mt hawkwatch
We opened the 2009 fall hawkwatch at Hook mountain in Nyack, NY today with a handful of migrants. The first bird of the season was an osprey at about 8:20 this morning. Altogether we had 8 birds heading south: 2 osprey 1 northern harrier 3 sharp shins 1 adult bald eagle 1 immature broadwing not bad considering the date and the ridiculously hot weather Steve Sachs White Plains -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES Temporary archive: http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
