Re: [nysbirds-l] Northern Shrike at Floyd Bennett Field

2012-03-08 Thread Terence Clarke 
Today around 8:30am Guy Tudor and I watched the Northern Shrike for 
about 10 minutes near the same area where Martin Carney saw the bird on 
the 2nd (last Friday). The bird was perched in a tall tree 
(Cottonwood?). At one point it swooped down to the center of the 
airstrip where it pried a centipede from a seam in the concrete, it then 
flew back to it's original perch and devoured the bug.
Best,
Terry Clarke

[nysbirds-l] Northern Shrike at Floyd Bennett Field

2012-03-03 Thread Martin Carney 
My directions to the Northern Shrike were not clear enough yesterday because 
you have to cross 2 runways.  I saw the bird on the eastern side of the main 
north-south runway, approximately 300 yards south of the Model Plane stand.  
The bird was on top of a tall tree in the brushy area, maybe 30 yards off the 
runway.  It was there for about 10 seconds before it swooped down, and I lost 
it.

Happy birding,
Martin Carney

[nysbirds-l] Northern Shrike at Floyd Bennett Field

2012-03-03 Thread Martin Carney 
My directions to the Northern Shrike were not clear enough yesterday because 
you have to cross 2 runways.  I saw the bird on the eastern side of the main 
north-south runway, approximately 300 yards south of the Model Plane stand.  
The bird was on top of a tall tree in the brushy area, maybe 30 yards off the 
runway.  It was there for about 10 seconds before it swooped down, and I lost 
it.

I saw the Northern Shrike today at approximately 4:10 p.m. at Floyd Bennett 
Field.  The bird was located approximately 300 yards south of the Model 
Airplane stand, across the runway from the stand, in a tall tree in the brush 
area.
