[nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret No
The cattle egret found by Bob Grover and reported by Ken Thompson at Argyle Lake in Babylon was not present as of 7:25pm. Many dogs were present and quite a few people were out walking around the lake, which may have sent it to a quieter location.

[nysbirds-l] albino African Collard-Dove
Had an albino African Collard-Dove at work today in New Rochelle. It flew low over the building and landed across the street from 10 Commerce Dr. on the electrical wires along the train tracks and sat there for 10 or 15 minutes before flying off towards the Trump Plaza. I walked right to where it was and it just sat there so obviously was a recent escape or release. Not a Eurasian Collard-Dove but sort of close:-) Andrew Andrew v. F.
