[nysbirds-l] Water challenged Willow Flycatchers

I'm used to seeing (or hearing) Willow Flycatchers in the general vicinity of salt marshes. This weekend, my son had soccer games in Levittown and Dix Hills. Both locations are far removed from any salt marsh habitat or any water at all for that matter, but both locations seemed to have some

RE: [nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kite Spot Dragonfly

I got some feedback to this post with news that a River Cruiser was seen today on Ironwood Road. It was photographed but the contact info is not available. If you are that person (or anyone that comes across one in the future), can you please send me a picture? There could be a unique population

[nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kite Spot Dragonfly

This is off topic, but for the benefit of some birders -- those that took interest in a dragonfly that I pointed out at the Mississippi Kite spot the day I was there (May 31). I had called it an Illinois River Cruiser, which made sense as that's the only River Cruiser so far recorded in New York

[nysbirds-l] 6/3 Cupsogue: One Arctic Tern

This afternoon, before the thundershowers rolled in from the west, my father and I, along with Jim Cullen and his friend Lee, enjoyed a 1st Summer Arctic Tern that was present on the Cupsogue flats at low tide. Two adult Black Terns were also seen. Good Birding, Michael

[nysbirds-l] Phalaropes @ Mecox

Earlier today Angus Wilson found a RED-NECKED PHALAROPE at the Mecox Bay inlet in eastern Suffolk Co. The bird was still present this afternoon at 4pm as were two WILSON'S PHALAROPES. No sign of the Arctic Tern found there yesterday by John Shemilt. Hugh -- Hugh McGuinness The Ross School 18

[nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kite-YES

Both Mississippi Kites put on quite a show this afternoon at Sterling Forest Nature Center. There was also a singing Cerulean Warbler a little down the road at the Laurel Pond (?) parking area. Bald Eagle and Raven were seen from the bridge at Narrowsburg in Sullivan Co early this AM.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Request from Blue Chip Farm

Blue Chip Farm has been very accommodating to birders over the years and birders have been respectful of the horses. Please do not go on the fields or do anything to interfere with the horses or we will not be welcome. It only takes one bad apple. Irene Warshauer -Original Message-

The Saturday morning bird walk at NYBG began shortly after the rain stopped. It turned out to be a beautiful day. The PILEATED WOODPECKER was spotted on Tuesday down by Twin Lakes sitting in a wooden fence. The birder who saw the woodpecker said she had a very good look before it took off.
